either get some easy outs from craftsman or do it the ghetto way like I did which was get your dremel and grind down the sides until you can fit the next smaller socket on. example- if it was a 14mm nut, grind it until a 13mm socket will fit over it.

Thanks guys! I got it off with the dremel and the Greddy is on. I will post pics as well as a write up soon.
