Tight fasteners, like that, do respond to a sharp impact from a BBFH and a
large diameter big drift.

  It would be a pretty big or specialized shop to have EDM stuff. It's
  a nut. It will come off. If worse comes to worst, use a chisel
  against the edge of the flats. It helps if you make a nick with a
  sharp chisel and then use a dull one to apply torque. Big Big F*&%
  $ing Hammer (BBFH) and a bit of technique. Just be sure you're
  loosening the nut, not tightening it.
