I wonder if the old "thread a nut on first" trick would have saved you...

+1 the smart idea would of to put a nut all the way on, cut it and than took the nut off. But it was late at night so no hardware store were open and it was like 3/4 bolt I think.... something big and I didnt have a nut that size laying around so I did what I could lol

not on my 95 but on my 92 drag car the bold that holds the harmonic balancer on. i tried every method you can think of then i got really pissed and turned the air compresser as high as the impact would hold and just held it there till it finally broke loose and when it did the bold and the socket hit me right in the *****. thats about the only one that really pissed me off.
