    Removing over-torqued castle nut

    So I went a little too far tightening the castle nut down when I was installing my A5 RE. Enough so that the metal bent slightly which bothered me, so I am now trying to take it off and replace it properly. However, this thing is proving to be a massive pain in the ass to get off. I really don't know how much I over torqued it by, but now the castle nut is really deforming and I'm having trouble just keeping the wrench in the slots. Any suggestions? This is why I usually don't mess with things. I didn't even stake it or put thread locker on, just some anti-seize.
