nut won't come off

ok so i bought a strut bar and i started taking the nuts off to put it on. All the nuts loosen except for one, it just keeps spinning. Has any one else had this problem or know how to fix it. Thanks

If it's just spinning, I'd cut a line through it with the dremel and pry that sob off.

yeah if it won't come off then you might just have to bust a nut, and don't forget to clean up your mess afterwards!!

Sounds like it might be threaded on upside down. Like I said the best bet is to cut a line through the nut with a dremel and pry that mofo apart.
