use a chiesel and hammer and hit the nut in an anti-clockwise (undo) direction. be sure to get a decent cut into the nut before trying to hit it off.
get what i mean,
this is a real dodgy picture but you can make out what i mean, by hitting the chiesel straight at the angle it is in the picture. it will turn the nut!

As long as the nut isn't circular, there is a type of spanner that goes on them, and instead of having the "sharp" corners, they are drilled out a bit, and it makes the "spanner" lock onto the nuts straights sides instead of the corners...
They work well...

just "jar" the nut by hitting it with a hammer.
lubricate with bolt-off or similar.
then try the correct spanner or try find a smaller one that will go on
if not, vice grips -
if that fails then go with the bush mechanics style - chisel and hammer

Yup these work a treat, some kingchrome sockets have this, as do sidchrome spaners.
I had a few bolts that were rounded off and no spanner or socket in my collection could undo them (various cheapos, some good stuff as well) i went and bought a kingchrome socket and it worked a treat!

check that out for information

I reckon stilsens(spelling, the thing plumbers use) are the way to go. If it is completly round this wont work tho. Or get a bodgy socket and weld a small beed inside it. then bash it on.

Heat is very good, a dull red colour is fine. CAT make a very good penetrating oil thats cheap enough ($20 or there abouts) and I personally won't use anything other than 6 point sockets. Try the do up/undo procedure in small amounts too as this has the benefit of cleaning/reforming the thread as it goes. If you are undoing nuts from a long threaded section the the undo/do up is the preferred method, be careful not to use too much force as you can break the stud/bolt. There are a number of dodgy tools that their manufacturers proclaim to be miricle products for this type of thing, most are a crock. Best practice is to use good quality spanners (Sidchrome, Repco, T&E are all good and reasonably priced) in the first place, always use the ring end when possible and be patient. Any lubrication is better than none (I don't care if it's cooking oil, peanut paste or even water) and I have found thru my career (I'm a plant mechanic) it's possible to get 99/100 undone if you have the time/patience.
Cheers
Mark

i agree with you entiery that there are lots of dodgy brother style miracle tools. good quality tools are always a winner. ive got the metrinch sockets and i give them a huge thumbs up. nice thing they dont tend to round off the bolts in the first place. one problem with them over a standard double hex is like a single hex you dont have as much flexability in which position you position the socket/spanner. if you already have a good set of tools id recomend a strip of metrich sockets or the kingchrome similar setup.. good value
