Getting a yoke off a rear end

  This seems impossible.  One is on a truck, the other is on the ground with no tires on the rear end.  Can't seem to get anywhere.  Left does mean LOOSE does it not ??

I'd try some heat, then after it cools down a little spray some WD40 or Blaster on it and let it soak in. Then put the breaker bar on it. Has worked for me.

 Doesn't heat make things expand ??  That, for some reason seems it would make it harder to get off. :shruggy:

 ;)Yes it makes it expand but at different speed than the bolt, there by cracking the rust, and when it cools off and you hose it down with penetrating fluid gets sucked up in there, and Wala, off it comes..
Best of luck.

Since the OP asks "left loose"? I assume he trying to loosen the nut. In the absence of an impact, use as large pipe wrench to hold the yoke while loosening the nut with a long breaker bar.

If the nut is off and the yoke won't come off, try a slide knocker.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

 I finally got it off.  I had to use a Impact gun to loosen that nut.  Thanks though.
