Hi guys, while i was removing my rusted subframe, i stripped one of the 4 nuts. I have tried using a dremel to make some flat surface on the nut but nothing works. Im located in brampton, i’ll really appreciate if anyone can help me.

I dont mind paying for your gas and probably a lunch.

Thanks

That normally works or … get these.

Not those exact ones since they are 3/8" drive and probably don’t go up to 19mm but, get some 1/2" ones and bigger sockets.
