Default Rear axle bolts being lame
I am trying to do the rear wheel bearings on my 98 a4 30v quattro and the axle bolts will not budge.
I have a good 14mm hex socket and a 1/2 breaker bar and it feels like its about to round out. Any tricks?

Default longer breaker bar and steady force
I used a 4 foot long metal pipe to break it loose.

If the rear wheels don't spin while in air does that mean my 43mm bolts are too long?...
