Re: stripped nut If you can fit a flathead screwdriver under there try prying up on it while you turn with the socket. Thats worked for me in the past.

Re: stripped nut Get the biggest flathead you can fit under it. The more torque you can put on it, the better the shot you'll have at getting it out.

Re: stripped nut Also try hitting the flathead screwdriver with a hammer in between the nut and the motor mount to pry them apart.
