[Fot] Recalcentrant Bolt!!!

[Bill Babcock]

Before you round the thing out completely, get a good 1/2" six point  
impact socket of the right size and use a 1/2" air impact wrench.  
Soak the nut in penetrating oil, crank the gun to max, and have at  
it. It might take a lot of cycles cycles, but it will come.
