Rear end swap problem

As long as my car is up on stands to do the clutch (finished) I want to swap my LSD rear end in. Unfortunately when I started unbolting everything I ran into a problem. The bolt on one of the differential supports (the 22mm ones) won't come off. The metal bracket inside the trunk ripped apart and spins freely. I tried to bolt the remaining part down, but it just pops free and spins. How can I get this nut off? I was really hoping to be driving the car by now. Grrr.

Never mind about all my questions. New clutch is in. New rear end is in. Radiator is flushed and filled for spring. Life is good!

Yeh because it is still on jack stands. Wait until you take it off the jack stands and all it wants to is complain.
