Onwards, or not. The flange being early is unflatted. Can’t get enough grip from mole grip. The thread is 1/2” BSF, for which a spanner marked 7/16” Whit is perfectly compatible. A 1/2” BSF nut had been waiting for many years in a mayonnaise jar, ready to be called to duty.

Any further civilised suggestions, before resorting to the angle grinder in the morning?
