In one case, I was able to cut through the nut, which was a pain. But since
then, I have removed three or four by using a smaller pair of vise grips to
clamp on the bolt just as it comes out of the ball. That holds it in place
so the nut can be unscrewed after it has been soaked with a penetrant a day
or two beforehand.
