I've been PB Blasting it for 2 weeks now, and I just can't get them to break free. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Wedge large breaker bar in the U joint (or E brake) to keep the shaft from turning. Then use 2 wrenches together for leverage to break the nuts free. Piece of cake."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
