need help with test pipe install
allright I got 3 bolts off no problem then one I broke loose but it started to tighten up the bolts are really rusted and corroded so I put more presure and the bolt snaped off with the nut no biggie... then I go to the next one 14 mm wrench fits like a glove but the bolt wouldn't budge so I locked the wrench up with another one to get more leverage and it ended up rounding it off, so I'm like screw it its the last bolt and I put vise grips on it and the nut is just a really soft metal and I ended up making it worse and its still on there... what can I do to get this last nut off?
sorry for grammer I'm on my phone

Did you use "liquid wrench" or "WD-40" first?
They get rusted and you have to "snap" them off with a sharp impact. Just putting pressure on it rounds them off.
You might have to drill the last bolt out.

It would be hard to get a drill in there.
I think this is what Stratocaster is talking about.
Both Craftsman and Irwin make them.

More specialty tools to add to the collection! Thanks! I love tools. Sometimes I wander around Sears looking at things I might need....
