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.

Craftsman has a set of sockets just for this purpose. They have edges cut in them to grip the flat part of the nut or bolt. Maybe it's time for a trip to Sears.

do you know how much this set is???

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.

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.

You could try this.

I looked on Craftsmans site and couldn't find the other socket. I used to have one in my toolbox but can't find it. If I do find it I'll snap a pic of it.
