Every problem has a solution, even if it's destroy the problem, clean up the evidence, and walk away saying I know nothing, I saw nothing, and look for somebody to blame.

When you absolutely, positively, have to get it apart...

Have to hope it isn't off an old Dodge.

Re: Solutions

This was an early solution for animals refusing to back out of a trailer. Donkeys, Mules and Horses would prefer to turn around but most will back out if you make them. Just be careful they don't swing around while still on the ramp as soon as their head clears the door. Cattle would stay and starve to death before backing out...ok, that's an exaggeration but not by much. This trailer takes care of that problem especially for the SPCA guys handling animals they don't know and vice versa.
I have no idea what the bell is about, maybe because it's an ambulance.

Just to answer the deluge of questions about that:
Many Chrysler products (and a very few GM's) used left hand threaded lug nuts on the left side, as well as some other places.
It happened often that, if one ignored the "L" stamped on the end of the lug, the ill-advised (read stupid) use of enough force solved the problem.  By snapping the sucker right off.
I would like to see the "after" photo to the "enough force" one above.

I'm aware of the left hand Mopar lug nuts but had no idea what you were talking about in post 2.

Re: Solutions

I'd enjoy a video of that pipe wrench setup actually working.

I think one of 'em has to be left-handed.

Not the same set-up, but, close:

Re: Solutions

Doesn't hardly give stuck a chance, but I like it.
Safety pins are overkill.
Where's his mask?
And I can't find out how much the thing costs (don't forget the pump).

Re: Solutions

they barely accidentally show the piston extending and pushing the wrench arms apart.   I think I get it though.
