Hey FMR, if you have a nut siezed to a stud the best way to remove it is a SHARP cold chisel. Simply put the chisel upright against one of the flats on the nut and give it a couple hard hits. If the nut doesn't split then it should at least speread a little loosening it on the stud where it will back off. Anytime I change a exhaust manifold, turbo, etc., anything that has a stud and nut this is how I do it. Two minutes per nut with a hammer and cold chisel beats 30 minutes fighting it and taking the chance of twisting off the stud (which is probably rusted in tight too) or worse breaking a piece of whatever it's screwed into. The next best thing is PB Blaster if you give it time to soak in. No matter which way you go, at least replace the nut and use never-sieze, if it's on something like an exhause manifold you can go back with brass nuts(still use never-sieze) to prevent this problem next time. Good luck.
