Coilover install. All nuts are loose except for one which is rounded. Hence a "shocking" nut. Already tried vice grip. Don't have dremel cutter. Do have mallet.

Thanks in advance.

Ehh... where is this nut located? That would help too. I haven't encountered that with coils at all. The closest thing to it I have seen is endlinks, where the joint spins on itself and vise-grips help a lot.

14mm. Long story short I ****ed it up. Pretty rounded. Considering cutting or dremel but don't want to mess the shock threads.

Doesn't fit. The 14mm doesn't go on snug. Its like deformed. Hammered the 14mm on and it just slips. Friend is going to o'reillys to get a biting socket.
