The pan was HARD,, I tried to loosen it but the flat screwdriver end was all wallowed and I wound up rounding off the nut… I can’t get a vice grip in there and I can’t get a cutoff wheel in there either… So I had the bright idea to cut off using a cold chisel… welp,, I wound up mashing the nut instead of cutting it.. I don’t know if I can drill it out now. You guys have any ideas?? Stand by your principles, Stand by your guns, and victory complete and permanent is sure at last. Abraham Lincoln

Just don't get to rammy jammy with them or they won't last long. Usually when it gets that serious I will break out the small Milwaukee rotary file. I have hundreds of bits for it of all shapes and sizes
