Finished up the install last night. Tried the vice grips, but they wouldnt hold. The shaft just kept spinning in the vice grips. I spent probably 2-3 hours trying to get the nut off with vice grips and impact. Ended up just drilling out the top of the shaft with a 1/2" bit. I was able to drill out about half way through the nut and hit it with the impact to get it off. The passenger side looked worse than the driver side when I pulled it out, so I went straight to drilling it out. Took probably an hour. Had to drill almost all the way through the nut before it would come off with the impact.
