Urgent - Rusty, Rounded Nut Removal??
#16
Buy some decent sockets or put some on the christmas list, am yet to round anything with my 6-sided flank drive sets, despite some questionable application.

As to getting it off, heat and a smaller socket, as has already been suggested a few times. Failing that, you may be able to chisel it round or get a rotary tool with a grinding head in there. That's it short of putting it back together and taking it to a garage.

Tbh it sounds like you're not properly equipped dude, get some real tools.
