    Changing the central heating pump and wouldnt you know it cant budge the nut on the boiler side. When I move it it just moves the pump aswell. Theres no way to get something hooked up to the pump to torque against.
    Any ideas?WD-40? A blowtorch?

    It's a long time since I've changed a water pump (and then not many). If you have been able to open one nut, you could ease the nut back and grip the threads on the pump with a stilson wrench (it won't matter if you damage the threads on the pump, if you are changing it). Then use another wrench on the other nut.
    Jim.
