There is a castle nut on the front side and some kind of long wheel nut on the rear side. I was able to remove both castle nuts but the wheel nuts on the rear side are sitting solidly in place (even after heating them up with a torch).
What kind of locking bolt arrangement is this and what would be the best way to get it out of the front axle. Any help is highly appreciated.
Cheers,

Knock that out with an impact gun and see what you have as far as using one that the current vendors supply. You will be no worse off than trying to save it.
