Use a small pipe wrench or grind/file a couple flat spots and give it a go again.
I have a wrench I found in a junker, it has a movable,spring loaded jaw, works sort of like a pipe wrench, the harder you pull the tighter it gets ... if there is any amount sticking out from the pan face, I am sure this thing would get it.
Is it the Magic Wrench?
It is a Weil, 10" version. At one time I had a larger one, lost it. Custom imported from afar. Japan It has saved me several times, and taken a beating. Glad I have it. Goes to the upull everytime now. Has replaced my small pipe wrench. I recently found another, much cheesier, sort of looks like something would come in a bicycle tool kit, works on the same principle.
you can pick up a more rugged and telescoping version at Home Depot in the plumbing tools section....used for faucets....use mine all the time....nice piece ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif)
Mikes take on welding a large nut to the existing bolt is by far the best way IMHO....been there done that....it WORKS ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)
