Probably got the idea from Bill Mauldin's famous GI putting a Jeep out
of its misery.

Update: The cap is off the nut. I sprayed the nut with PB Blaster
several times prior to trying to loosen the nut. I feels like I get a
tight fit with an 18mm socket, but when applying pressure, it slips.
The nut is set deep so I don't think I can use the dremel tool on it.

Should the next approach be heat or nut removal kit from Sears?

Thanks,

CTM

6 or 12 point. A 6 point is what you need to get a better grip.

Possibly.

If you have a 4-way, or a friend with one, give the other sockets a try.

Generally one will work with the caps on and another will work with them
off.
