As others have stated, I don't think there is a major problem. No reason to cut or torch the nut - it's just !#$%! tight.
You may need more that a normal 3/8" drive ratchet and a combination wrench to remove and replace it, but nothing out of the ordinary.
1/2" drive ratchet and breaker bar should do it. 1/2" torque wrench set to 81 Ft/Lbs for installation.
