The end of the threads are toast already and you should see the nut, it is like a ball of putty. I had to use a 3/4 socket to get it off since it was deformed and the 18mm wouldn't go over it.

I'll head out this evening and get an air hammer from HF, any special ends or anything to get or will the default chisel be just fine?

Any of these? Search results for: 'air hammer'
