Thanks for the links. This is probably more of a rant than anything since the nut on the ALDA is rounded off. I think that at this point I'm going to have to take the top off of the ALDA, and cut the lower half off around the nut so that I can get a socket and breaker bar onto it. Though, I think that first I will try the method in one of the links where a screwdriver was wedged into the ALDA and smacked with a hammer.

I must have damaged the ALDA somehow, because even though everything is put back together correctly, the car now feels sluggish.
