Exclamation stubborn downpipe nut

hi tried to take my downpipe off today, and theres one nut on the back of the turbo that aint for moving, ive used about half a can of wd40 and a heat gun to no success, even tried to get the ginder on it but its such a tight spot. just wondered if anyone had any tips or advice on how to get it off?

many thanks
chris

i had to get a junior hacksaw in to do one of my downpipe nuts as it had coroded and was all broken away on the edges,even a chewed nut extractor couldnt fit on there. All i could do was short strokes with the saw but eventuall cut 1 side of the nut off without damageing the stud.
Or try shocking it with a chisel for a while thats also worked for me to,i know its a bit rough but when needs must,thats what you gotta do!
