No, the Dremel will be used to remove the nut, which is the topic of the thread and what you would expect of your nut splitter. For that the tool would be used the way it would fit, not in line with the bolt, but perpendicular to it.

The cutting wheel would slice through the nut parallel to one flat and as close to the bolt's threads as possible. The "top" of a nut is the part you put the wrench on, where the bottom of a nut is the surface which clamps the bracket. Your slice would be from top to bottom, which from your perspective, and not the nut's perspective, would be side to side inward toward the differential.

Once you have the nut nearly in two pieces, get out the hammer and cold chisel, or repeat with the Dremel. If removing the nut doesn't buy you anything, neither will a new or more substantial nut splitter. The nut should be softer than the 10.9 hardness of the bolt.
