    I was going to replace the rear bearing on BMW F30 but got this.

    The rear axle nut is so rusted it looks like it and the rotor/hub have become one.

    Any suggestions on removing the seized nut or if anyone knows a garage that could take on this sort of work?

    You might be able to use a chisel to break the nut

    Any back street garage will be used to such work. They often use heat to free up the nut but they might just cut off the head. The mating side may be unusable so at least a garage can replace all bits that need replacing versus a dodgy attempt on your driveway.

    Are you certain that’s not a cap/cover over the actual nut?
