Forgot to add this earlier but here is the technique I used to get the nut off without destroying it. Before you even start to loosen the nut just take your Dremel and cut a slot in the bolt. Then shove a flathead through a ratcheting wrench to hold the bolt while you ratchet off the nut. This method allows you to re-use both the nut and bolt if needed.
