i believe i have most of the right tools its just that the nut wouldn't come off, and yea i can see this take a lot of patience every time i think I'm getting closer to finishing something else pops up but it cool I'm in no rush thanks for the advice

You now need one of these Craftsman 10 pc. Damaged Bolt/Nut Remover Set, Low Profile Bolt-Out - Tools - Hand Tools - Tap & Dies & Sets

and probably a better set of wrenches and sockets so that this doesn't happen again.....and a new can of PB Blaster to help unstick the stuck stuff.

Good luck, go slow, and as others have said, bag and tag everything or you're going to be truly screwed later!

i don't know if that set will really work like there is no longer any shape or corners on the nut... and yes i have been taking it slow and i will keep doing that

that's exactly what that set is for - it spirals down and cuts into the nut for grip - the harder you crank, the better it works. Nothing else on the market is more designed for what you need to do than this tool is my man! Short of a cutoff wheel, this is your only option....if you start torching on this enough to get it hot, you're going to destroy a lot of stuff in the process.

iggght thanks man i will look into that

[luisr320]

Just heat it up and use a vise grip. It has no chance.
Be careful not to damage the seat with the heat.

[justinmahn]

Possibly a soldering iron to apply heat? Like 100watt+ ?

[83shadowVLB]

so once its heated i suppose it will be gripped easily by the vise grip. and turn to the left

[luisr320]

Yes, squash it real tight with the vise grip and turn it anti-clockwise.
Try this before even heating it up. The heat might damage the seat bracket, which is made of plastic. As suggested by Justin, you may try a high powered soldering iron. Or even a jet-flame lighter

i purchased soldering iron/ jet flame lighter so tomorrow morning i will be going at it again thanks again for the help guys ,,,, still have a ways to go
