Ignorance forces me to ask whether this is a left hand or right hand nut.
Are you unintentionally tightening?

Subject: [C320-list] Prop nut

I just tried to take the prop nut off. Notice I said tried. I just came back
from tool store with a 1 1/8 deep socket and a 16 inch bar, 1/2 drive.  This
will be my second attempt! 

I have put WD40 on the nut. 

I did remove the cotter pin. 

I have blocked the prop with 6x6and a couple of 2x6's up against the boat
bottom. 

Before I get all manly (which I am not) and use force on the nut I thought I
would ask; " What am I or did I miss in trying to get this nut off"?
