Nut or bolt? If it is a nut, use a nutsplitter. If it is a bolt, good luck. Try banging a socket one size down onto it with a hammer. If that doesn't help, drill off the head then when you remove the bracket you can extract the stud that is left over.

vice grips...........they work pretty well. had to use them to attempt to get a bolt off of my turbo downpipe connection. i got them on the nut real well, but unfortuantely, the bolt head started stripping too, so i had to go another route. but good luck getting it off

Sears sells a set of sockets they call "stripped bolt removers" or something like that. Looking at them head on they look sorta clover shaped. You could also try to trick of putting a chisel into it at an angle and hammering so the chisel spins the bolt.

Well, I think i'm going to end up chizeling the head of the bolt off. I drilled through it and that didn't really do anything. I tried to put a screw driver through the hole but that just bent the screw driver :P
But I LOVE SEARS so i'm gonna try the stripped bolt removers out.

try using a dremel and cut off wheel, cutting a vertical slot on the bolt, then using a flathead screwdriver to get it out. works for us rc racers when the screws under the chassis gets stripped
