p.s. Try soaking the seized nut in PlusGas for a few days before giving it another go (or, use some heat if you got the kit and the skills).

Ah that'll be it, I was pricing up for all 4 wheel arches, but it's only really the fronts that need replacing, so I can remove those nuts from the order.
Last time before we tried to do the strut top bearing I'd been spraying plusgas on it twice a day, so I don't think that's likely to work.
I do have a blowtorch, and it doesn't matter about damaging the thread as the strut will be replaced, it's just the gaiters and things I want to reuse, so once the nut is off I can take all the other bits off and clean them up to swap over.
