Could it be rust on on the ends of the threads?

When i changed my rear diff, i had to work those bolts for about 15 mins each.....loosen /tighten with plenty of spray lube and an impact gun (3/4 drive millwaukee).

It's the nuts ...Nylox they hold on so good ...I used a electric file to take the end off and the heat generated by that caused the nut to let go ....
