Transfer case input flange removal. HELP!

[Jaffa]

Started stripping down the transfer case to put gears in it, I got the output flanges off without too much trouble. But the input flange nut will NOT move,

I tried putting the case back in the car and reconnecting drive shafts then trying to undo it.
I tried heating it.
I tried putting the flange in a vice and beating the crap out of my ratchet with a hammer.
I tried using a 1.5M breaker bar on it.
I tried putting a screwdriver through one of the flange bolt holes and locking it against the TC, and bent then broke the screwdriver (snap on )
I took the front section off the TC, put a vice clamp type tool on the inside off the input shaft, and beating the crap out of the bloody thing..........
I ground off the locking tags (incase they were deeper than normal and were still locked further down the shaft)
And I tried a few other combinations of the above

Cookie of a thing hasn't move a millimeter.

Has anyone got any other ideas on how I can get the flange nut off.

Only other things I can think of is a impact gun(I dont have one), or a stick of dynamite.

Impact gun. No issues- It will come straight off. I have been there brother. I feel your pain

Take it to a garage /Tire joint in the morning Impact will have it of in no time .

Cool, I will take it to the mechanic in the morning.

Thanks

took it to the mechanic today, he had a little trouble getting it off took about 5 minutes with the rattle gun but it is off now

An air compressor and tools are now in number one spot on my "tools to purchase list"

i know you pain also.

i spent 2 hours once trying to remove a flange nut to the point where i almost busted my hand from punching the concrete when the breaker bar slipped off the nut. then a week lateri removed the other 2 with a rattle gun in less than a minute each. It does help for it to be still in the car if not using a rattle gun. Other prob i had was the flange was rusted onto the shaft. so i then had to use a bigger mallet.

Anyone used those electric rattle guns ? I don't think the ones with 1/4 " drive would be of any use, but have never used one.
Have seen others with 1/2" drive and think would be useful. don't really have the room for a decent compressor.

[Gwagensteve]

I don;t think a 1/4 drive one would be much good - the impact effect would bust anything that was appropriate to drive ith 1/4 - max about 13mm.

The 1/2 drive ones are pretty good - but to get a quality one they are serious $$$ - more than a reasonable compressor and cheap rattle gun for sure.

i found this link on how to pull your TC apart and put it back to gether its a good look http://www.trail-gear.com/tech/zuk65gears/index.html

Step 4: Using a 1 1/6" or 28mm socket remove all three flange nuts and flanges. A bearing puller may be needed to pull flanges off.

I already had their instructions, but they make it sound easy, my flanges didn't need a gear puller to get them off though.
