Yup, on my first install of springs (this is the third, two for springs and one for shock) I had one that was frozen from when the car came off the assembly line. Heating it up, drilling, pretty much had to cut it off and rip it a part to get it off. If your Nissan dealer does not have one in stock, check with Infiniti....same parts. g/l it is a bugger.
If a good foot on a 19 mm wrench does not break it loose, then you are pretty much into thrashing mode.
