Hire that thing from strokerscamps avatar to chew that sucker off. ha, ha.

Try some blaster or kroil, heat, and some vice grips?

Cut off wheel might be a good last alternative, or even tack weld a rod to the end of the nut to get it started.
 
You might want to try soaking it with liquid wrench until you decide, I love that ****. If you put it on now, you could probably break it loose with vise grips tomorrow.
 
I could make a comment about being glad you have a round nut and not a hex one because that would put you into a record book, but that would be wrong. I would just make a smaller hex head out with my grinder.
 
And here I was thinking this was a thread about married life....
Definately go with the penetrating lube and let it soak. You might find a pair of vise grips will be all you need.

I'd rather have a rounded nut than a worn out hole.8)

Or a flattened nut for that matter.
 
did you try a 6 point socket yet? if the appropriate 6 point size doesn't work you might be able to go with something just slightly smaller and beat it on. I had that work with a rounded lug nut, vice grips didn't do **** in that situation. good luck.

Has had a little pb blaster overnight.Vice grips slipping now arh.
 
i would get a long metal blade for a saw-zall, and cut it off that way. i had to do this to a few cars in the past little while
 
After the night soak with liquid wrench, maybe you can heat it up until it is cherry red, then maybe a small pipe wrench?

na there is like on side left hence rounded nut.Glad some are takeing this anouther way :toothy10:LOL
 
well, the reason i had to use the long blade, was cause it will bend, as i could not get a cutt-off wheel in their, and the blade bent nicely, and was still able to keep control of the blade. took me 20 seconds to cut off
 
Dremel cut-offs suck, I tried to cut the bolt on my exhaust and ended up going through a whole pack of the dremel disks and only got halfway through the bolt!
 
Even if you able to get a wrench on it and break it loose the whole thing would probably start to spin after the first couple of turns. I would cut the nut off with a Dremel. Try to cut into two sides of the nut and then knock the two pieces off with a chisel.
 
Don this bumper is loose?? And are ya worried about the bolt?? Die-grinder with a cutoff disc. Or there is such a thing as a nut splitter
 
Have you thought about buying a chisel, the kind you hammer, and putting it against the lip of the nut? With a good pounding, it will slide underneath and cut through the bumper bolt and get the nut off.
 
take a chisel to side of it to try make it turn. The jarring should help move it. Big hammer
