Default Removing Turbo from 2wd,HELP.

Have removed 3 of the nuts from the exh manifold where it bolts to the exhaust housing on the turbo but i'm not having a lot of luck with the last nut as i can't get a ring spanner on it or a socket & my open ended spanner is starting to round the nut off ! Any ideas please.

Cheers Simon.

Removed seized nut now. Trying to remove the exhaust housing & turbo from where it bolts to the manifold with 4 nuts but their doesn't seem to be enough room to remove it as the bracket for the turbo damper is tight against the bit that pokes out on the head for the turbo damper, is this the wrong way to remove it ? Help !

Cheers Simon.
