FVCKING FRVSTRATING!

Why are the bolts so rusty, are they exhaust components?

If you don't need the car ASAP (and if the breaker bar doesn't do the trick now), soak it with PB Blaster every few hours..let it sit overnight, and try again tomorrow with a torch and breaker bar.

Need it for school and work. Whee! The joys of a 10+ year old car in MN winters.

Did you have a breaker bar at hand? Were you turning the right way? Righty tighty, lefty loosey?

Is it in an easily accessable position? Or is it like tightly nudged between multiple components on/near the engine? Cause you could possibly grind off the edges of the nut and essentially "create a new nut". What is it that you're removing?

So it's relatively accessable, right? Is the tire removed? Either way, try to grind off the edges to create a "new nut". You might want to try and hammer the nut directly.

Edit:Err, don't grind off the edges, More like make the sides more prominent than they are now (since you stripped it).
