Default difficult nuts

i use a method which i works well for me. either drill 2 or 3 small holes radiely on a flat of the nut, split with a chisel .
On bigger nuts drill a hole near the apex of the nut. drill parralel to the axis of the bolt and try not to drill the threads of the bolt. then split the nut. in both cases the operation can br reoeared on the opposite side of the nut,.
