Do you have enough room to use Vise Grips?

Oh I tried them. Adjusted and tightened the vice grip and still just as if the nut is froze in place. And the nut is really looking worse for wear.

Of course, I didn't bother to spray any WD-40 on the nut until things had already gotten out of hand.:S

Shoot, the other three pads came out easy.

Could someone with a torch just cut if off????? I do hate to do anything like that so close to the frame.
