Can you get a Sawzall in there?Do you have access to a die grinder and cutoff wheel?,a dremel tool will be slow but will eventually work.If not,you might have to burn it off with a torch.[:@]

Some have a spot on the top were you can put an allen wrench in them to keep them from spinning,I know mine does or you can put a jack under it and lift up on it and it should jam it up so it doesnt spin anymore if that fails to go get a tie rod tool and jam it in there and that should work....If all else fails cut it off with a sawzall or a nut splitter
