NSX2NV,First thing it keep that 12 point socket in the toolbox. This is the first thing to use to strip the nut. You need a 6 point. If you get a short one, you may get it in. You mentioned 4 bolts so I assume this is a later model (not a 1991). If you have a shallow socket use the vise grip to hold the socket (this may still slip, but worth a try)If you are really stuck and can't get a tool in position I recommend a dremel. You can CAREFULLY split the nut with a small cutting wheel. Frankly, most times these days when I work on a older exhaust, as long as I have access I don't even bother with a wrench, I just go for the dremel, only takes a few minutes.HTH,LarryB
