   Spent a good part of the weekend working on the Durango.  It has a broken axle   
   and needs a power steering pump.   
      
   I started on the axle replacement.  All was going very smooth - too smooth   
   until I got to the "last bolt" on the wheel bearing.  The bolt would not come   
   off no matter what I did.  500 pounds of torque, blow torch, liquid wrench,   
   nothing worked.  I even used one of those "grabber" sockets.  It wouldn't move   
   at all.     
      
   All my efforts - for nothing as I put everything back together and will have   
   to take it to the shop.  One bolt kept me from doing the job..  Really drives   
   me nuts, but at least I gave it my best effort.
