Jonra's ideo of a nut splitter looks like the go?

[HAVABEER]

can someone actually tell me what a nut splitter is and how it works?


thanks for all the feed back fella's

There is a link to a pic in my first post, It has a loop that goes over nut and a chisel type point that is pushed into nut with a bolt.
Place it over nut and tighten, will need a ratchet or air ratchet in where you are working.

I know of two versions!
1. my wifes knee.
2. the other is a surround that goes around the nut with a pointed bolt you screw in to crack the sidewall of the nut.

Iprefur the latter

just rattle gun it off , the friction of the rubber should stop it turning

Can you get a set of vice grips on the end of the stud?

If you can gold it with them, you might have a chance of getting the nut to move.
