k so the axle nut is ------- dented and wont come off the ------- axle
broke two wrenches trying and my full 240 pounds jumping on the wrench didnt do ---- to make this ****** budge.. pretty sure nothing short of an air hammer/air wrench will get it off

Your $0.02 for actually trying:
Doesn't sound like anything is unusual. The nut is supposed to be staked aka "dented" so it doesn't back off. Further, axles on Honduhs can be freaking unpleasant if they were put on with an impact gun much less in the corrosion-prone Great White North.
Get a breaker bar with a cheater bar on the axle nuts. You need serious leverage. If that doesn't work go rent a 3/4" or preferrably 1" impact gun and jack up your air pressure... for most 120 psi compressors you might have to run the tank empty three to five times to get the bolt to start turning.
Oh, yeah, start spraying the nut with penetrating lube. Starting last week.

Re: need help with my crx
i emptied out the wd40 can on it
have a cheater pipe...
i think i may need to break down and buy a breaker bar.. and or invest in a compressor..
the dent is pretty ------- deep and hit hard.. idk if yuriy did it but the hit is so hard the metal is 100% ------- flush and looks like someone spot welded it
i used a pin and a hammer to dent it back but still wont budge..
i dont get home till wednesday.. i bought a better wrench so ill try that one more time with a longer cheater pipe if i can find one...
sucks to be me right now..
kinda fucked up on the order of removing the engine and when i turn the steering wheel the entire tranny and engine assembly move with it..
its a funny sight :P

Re: need help with my crx
s1mpl3x's advice is great if you are looking for general wrenching tips, but he just demonstrated complete Honduh ignorance. Be wary of accepting specific advice from him.
Thinking about what's going on is the first step to learning, figuring out how to confirm the way things work so you don't ---- something up is the second step. Repeat as neccesary.
