My guess is it went on hot and was crimped down if it's is not got enough spring to get it off that would be my route. You will nick something with the dremel

Thanks. Its a little farther along but I don't want to spoil the surprise. On the nut. It is brazed. It was done prior to me but I re did it. There was some holes and such so I just laid in some more. To be honest I havent brazed anything since high school. 30 plus years ago so I was winging it...
