i never used an impact drill until this year. What a great tool. Sure beats broken hands and arthritis.
Yep, I tried the impact wrench, the dab torch, vice grips, and what I really thought was going to be the winner, a pipe wrench....A few different sizes even. Also tried pounding on the next size smaller impact socket. Nope to all.

I don't have a set of those easy outs, but the real problem is not enough room. If it was up on a lift it would be a lot easier.

I did get a really good look at my tires though, and they are shot!! As are the TPS sensors. Ugh!!

Did you try pounding on a metric socket?
Sometimes that works.

If you can weld you can also weld a clean nut onto the bad one. Then the heat and fresh nut will get it out.
Just make sure you give it a couple of minutes to cool down & reduce it's diameter.
With a good weld on the nut most all of them will come out.

Edit: As long as it's steel on steel. Aluminum blocks & small steel studs/bolts can increase the level of difficulty here by a BUNCH!
