Thanks. I've tried the technique you describe on the bench. The nut receives a solid impact using a cold chisel and a 2 lb. hammer. So far the nut hasn't budged. It's been getting BP Blaster for at least five days. The passenger side came loose after a few whacks while it was still on the car. I might just have to cut my losses and go buy a stut assembly at the junkyard. I'd rather fix this one though. Any other ideas that might help? I guess I'll get my friend over here who is a lot bigger than I am, and have him bring a bigger hammer. Is an impact hammer good for this type of thing? I see some in the Ingersoll Rand catalogue. It says they're good for cutting, punching, chipping, scraping and bushing driving. What about just plain hammering, like on a stuck gland nut?
