A good 5 minutes of hammering on it without budging it. He had also tried an 18" breaker bar. Guy on the next bench picks up his butterfly 3/8, puts a good solid 1/2" adapter on it, walks over and grabs the socket off the monster, and says lemme show you how I do it. Making sure the socket was well seated, he rocks the butterfly to the left & fishes the nut out of the socket about 1 second later. Time to send that 1/2" back for a rebuild.
