err, its a complete arse, thast all i can say!! try soaking the said nut in wd40 and leaving it overnite, failing that, break it with a big bar!!, angle grinder is a bad idea because of the sparks and the fuel!!

wd40 isnt proper penetrant, get some plusgas.

I gave up when trying to remove mine. Just cut it off. Gave me an excuse to fit a LCB. And the spi downpipe does drop down very low, kept smacking it on speedbumps.
