What is the best way of getting off a seized nut.

I am changing front shocks on RRC and the nut is stuck with little or no end bit to hold it to get any levage ?

Apart from trying to cut the shock and slide off the wrong way and other suggestions ?

Thanks

Rodney

If you are replacing the shocks, use an angle grinder and just cut the nut off. What's the point in struggling??
If yowm a purist, use a big ommer and chisel!!!

just cut down the nut, parralel to the thread and 90 degrees to the top of the nut with a hacksaw and the use a hammer and chisel to loosen it then off it will pop!!!
