Just wanted to share experience with the above tool. After plus-gassing, heating, hammering, grunting, straining and a lot of swearing, I put a 16mm Irwin remover onto the exhaust bolt of the TD5 turbo I'm removing. Using a long extender offered up from below, and a very seriously large amount of grunt, the Irwin cracked it free on the first attempt.
In this case, the nut wasn't too badly damaged, but the remover does cut into the mild steel of the nut, so if it's seized super-tight then it will likely be destroyed.
Note that this nut was seized so tight, the stud came out with the nut still solid.
Highly recommend.
