Hi Dave
The only solution I have found for these is a hacksaw, I have busted too
many of these to even think about removing them if they don't come undone
right away!
The solution is to cut one flat off as close the spindle as possible without
cutting the thread off then tap the cut end lightly with a hammer through a
small chisel or if you don't have one a screwdriver, this is usually enough
to break the nut and allow it to be threaded off. I have had some where I
have had to cut the other side of the nut off and remove the two remaining
sections with the hammer and chisel.
Hope this helps.
Graham.

Subject: removal of wiper wheel box nut
> I need to remove the nuts from the wiper wheel boxes on my GT6 so that I
can replace the gaskets. Both of them are stuck fast. I am afraid to crank
too hard on them for fear of breaking something. Does anybody have any good
tricks for removing these? I was thinking of trying an impact wrench on a
low setting. I tried penetrating oil but it didn't help so far.
