Now I'm thinking I'm screwed because I can't get this nut off now. I was thinking of using my dremel tool but I was afraid I would cut too deep and screw up the threads on the bolt or even accidently cut it off. Anyone have any ideas or tricks of the trade on how to remove this nut safely and without damaging the bolt?
