Sincere thanks to the 20 or so people who responded - I read
and appreciated every reply !

there isn't enough room to get a nut splitter over the nut, not enough
space to use a socket, I already tried the vise grip approach.
Next I'm going to try HEAT in the form of a propane torch - fuel tank
is out of the car, so if there is a fire it won't be explosive, but i'll
keep the fire extinguisher handy.
Will post results later.

Thanks !
Jack Mc
