Rung nut, tool to take it off?

The little nuts that hold on the spacers got stuck today when I was trying to remove them, before I had WD40 I went at it with a brace and slipped and rung it. Charged up the Snap-On impact gun and left it soaking in WD40 for an hour the other 3 came off fine then but the one where the brace slipped earlier just kept spinning and rung the head. I was going to hammer on a 16 socket but before I ruin a socket is there a tool to take these rung nuts off. I cant get at it from the side as its sunk down into the spacers.

there is a tool for taking them off its a left hand thread self taping socket

id say beat on the 16 you'll have it off quicker and just buy another 16 if you need to

hammer and chisel will also get it off

Right sure try that, sound.

Little b@stard didnt come off till I got a 14 round its neck. 17 down to 14 lol some hacking was done.
