while your at the hardware store pick up some liquid 'break free'
you drip a few drops on the threads and it helps loosen stuck nuts.
like a very thin penetrating oil
but damn,
i find even with the nut off i cant get those cartridges to pull half the time.

the intolerance of the old order is emerging from the rosy mist in which it has hitherto been obscured.

wont work as well,
theres a far better product
here in the states its called 'liquid wrench' or 'break free'
comes in a couple ounces with an eyedropper end
any time ive a job where i need old steel pips to unscrew i drop by the job a couple times and hit those fittings with this product.
makes a huge difference and ive found it useful in sink fittings

there are a couple other tricks,
both via hand grinders
ones you chew that rounded off nut into having square parts enough for your wrench to grab
another is you cut a groove down its center enough you can get a flathead screw driver purchase

you know,
the make a type of wrench that instead of flat surfaces that mimic the nut or bolt
its got a series of have circles protruding into the inside,
box wrench. cant remember the exact type name,
but the ways its sized each of these curves grabs a nut halfway toward the center of the flat surface
not the corners
ive seen nice ones from craftsman
