Best way to destroy a nut?

Well I have a nut stuck on a exhast manifold stud. This is not on my 08 GT, it's on a Honda Challange race car I own..I need to take of my header to re-wrap it and I cannot get the LAST bolt off. I tried everything from PB Blaster (which works great) to a torch...nothing works!

I've started to chisel the nut off, and really don't care about destroying the stud (I have plenty extra). Anyone have any suggestions on extraction?

I know this isn't related to 05-09 Mustangs AT ALL, but I knew I would get the immediately/resourceful help here.

Thanks,
Brandon

What now? Let me tell you what now. You need to go to work on the homes there with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin'? You ain't through with that bolt by a **** sight. You need to get medieval on it's ***.


Pulp Fiction, love that movie!

But, yeah, blow torch.

can you get a pair of vice grips on it? Can you get to it with a grinder or possibly drill it out?

I hacked up the nut so bad with a chisel that vice grips probably won't work at this point.

Always provided you can get it over the nut.

And that, ladies and gents- is the true definition of "instant classic" on the video screen.

Hahaha yeah, well physically I don't think I'll be able to get it on the nut. Half of the nut is still on there and won't come off! It's mostly the end of the nut...

I keep seeing this thread and thinking it should have been named "Best way to bust a nut". Sorry I don't have anything more productive to add.
