U-Joint and Hub Nut advice?

I'm pretty overdue in replacing some ball joints, and wonder if I shouldn't tackle the u-joint as well. I already took a look at stu-offroad's page, and having rented a ball joint press, it seems pretty do-able. I haven't heard any noise and there doesn't seem to be much play, but would it be a good idea anyway?

Now for the important question. Does anyone have any bright ideas on how to loosen the current bane of my existence, the hub nut? I'm almost out of PB and patience.
 

Impact gun and a 36mm socket works for me. You may want to jam a prybar into the ujoint to keep the shaft from turning.
