i really messed up this time... HELP!! (PICS)

What about one of those "gator" sockets?? the ones with all the movable pins inside to grip whatever odd-shaped piece you slide it over. I'll try to find a pic unless you know what I'm talking about.

Those look like they bite into the flat edges of the nut and could damage it. What if he wants to put it back on??

Seriously, I asked my dad about those (to my surprise, he has a set) and he says they were worth every penny.

there is no way i can reuse that nut..... it is round.

I had that happen once, I just used a die grinder (sp?) to cut the nut in half very carefully.
That'll work! I used my dremel with a small cutoff wheel to cut the rivets off the brake dust shields - man, it was like cutting butter with a hot knife.
