Nut Problems
OK its official I am totally lost and haven't the foggiest idea in what to do. Alright i've been trying to install my prochamber for about a week now. I have this one d*** nut the passenger side bottom one. Took a breaker bar to it with the extension and a swival went through 2 of them. Took a impact wrench to it. Tried to muscle the it and still no budge. Now what the hell am I supposed to do? Is there a way to cut it off without messing up the stud? Very frusterated right now. Dustin can even back me up on this he's never seen anything like this.

No its not rounded....its grippable the damn thing just wont budge....burn it off? and will that screw up the stud?

OO k i thought it was too rounded.. then dont burn it off unless you want to replace the stud also..try getting some pb buster and just keep working at it i used almost a half can and try letting it sit overnight and see what happens..Also try tightening it to break the seal and just keep working at it will come off
Ok now if this doesnt work.....next option without replacing the stud? Heating it a little bit?

This nut is a tough one, no doubt about it. You have to find the right combo of swivel, extension and socket and then the right angle to get on it. This caused me much frustration the first timeI took the stock exhaust off. The next time I had it off right away.

question...do you have anything holding up your current midsection? As in is there too much angular pressure on the stud/nut. Try propping or jacking it up. Soak the nut with tons of liquid wrench or rust remover then soak a rag with it and leave it on there over night for hahas. If that doesnt work... Sawz-All

Not cool with the sawz-all.......but I will try the angular pressure and soaking the s*** out of it
