I have a bugger of a nut from one of my anti roll bar link. I have tried mole grip, saw, and it's not bulging. unfortunately I have broken most of it, which makes the nut spin and hard to cut off. 

What do you recommend I use for the bugger, die or angle gridder? Thanks

I'd try heat and/or a nut splitter.  Whizzers are useful tools but there would be a significant risk of damaging the thread.

Impact wrench if you have access?

 

When I faced something similar on the Superb a few weeks ago I used the angle grinder. If you're worried about damaging the ARB, split the nut and stud vertically, or cut across the nut just above the flange.

 

I think a nut splitter is going to struggle with the flange on that nut.

Don't **** about, just use a flap wheel disc and grind until flush then hit it, don't try and cut it or it'll grab and make a mess!

A nice 1mm cut off wheel will have that off in seconds. As would a pair of mole grips or pipe grips and an impact wrench

Thanks all. Luckily I picked up a Parkside Cordless angle grinder from my local Lidl for £25.

Then another 50 quid for a battery and charger 😷

Plus another fiver for a proper disc as opposed to the Fisher Price crap it came with...

Not if he already has them.
