I know the feeling of a "quest". Echoing dbo550, I am glad it worked out for you.

Have you tried warming the nut up ? or if that fails go buy a dedicated nut splitter.

I have the same problem with Koni shocks on the front. Going to give it another go today. Thanks for the inspiration.

That's exactly what happens when it fails.

After reading several posts with frozen nuts when changing struts, I feel lucky. In the process of changing struts, timing belt, RMS, and alternator and so far, all bolts have come off relatively easy. Should finish pulling engine today and putting back together tomorrow. Even the four nuts on the exhaust came right off. An air wrench, long extensions, and universal joint made it a snap.
