I tried both the nut splitter and an extractor on the demon 19mm front end-link nut. Neither worked. I had to cut the end-link off with a Dremel and order a new link and nut. For my cats, the nuts either twisted off correctly or snapped the bolts. This was with an impact socket and 4" cheater bar. After fighting with those things, I was thrilled when they snapped.

My vote is Dremel and replace, if you can.
