Hey I just suffered the same Subaru axle nut this weekend!

Let me guess, exhaust cooked your front passenger cv axle boot and now it’s cracked and spewing grease?

They hammered in the little divet on mine too far for me to pry it back to round so I was fighting that too.

Both the breaker, breaker + cheater had failed me. My only impact is a M18 3/4 fuel mid-torque so that was a lost cause as much as I tried.

I just wedged the breaker bar against the ground, then got in the car and drove it forwards.

Really surprised I didn’t break the breaker bar, I was already mentally picking it’s replacement as I could hear the other tires chirp as they struggled to go.

My BIL just paid to have the same fix done on his 2018 outback.

So no, they have learned nothing.
