Sounds like you may need a bigger "hammer". I use a 3' piece of steel pipe on my 1/2" drive breaker bar to loosen really tight bolts and nuts (crank pulley, CV hub nuts, etc).

just thinking dremel it off anyone done that? at least till the locking part comes off and then maybe it will budge?

X2 on the pipe over the breaker bar handle. I needed to do that same to break the t-case flange nut loose on my '85. I had that length of pipe bent into a good arc before the nut slowly released. I had tried the regular breaker bar and two different impact guns and none of those budged the nut.

Never had any issue just using a honking impact.
