OK. I'm embarrased to even be asking this, but I hope someone can give me a tip here.

I need to change a glow plug. When loosening that little nut that holds the wire onto the plug, the wire rotates along with the nut. It's seized *solid*, and I mean solid. It's like it's welded on there. I can't get a screwdriver between the nut and the wire. I tried penetrating oil.

After trying to get it off without breaking the wire, I gave up and decided to ask how you guys are doing this.

So how to get that damned nut off without twisting the wire off?
