Looks like time for a new tool (or two).
Feels a little different with just the front replaced, but I REALLY wanted to get both of them done.

Any recommendations for a wrench to pull screwed up nuts? 14 mm is what I'm going to need.
Snap-on sockets grab the nut by its sides, not corners. I have almost always been able to get a rounded nut off with Snap-on.
