I made a dimple/locating hole first so the impact bit didn't slip around. Had to be a little careful as that particular bit had never been used before and it was somewhat sharp....

Inspecting the nut, the threads are not very good and measured different pitches around the the thread - this probably added to the 'tightness'. I tried a spare nut and that is a much better fit.
Now to make my M18 x 1.5 bolt to take the alternator bit off......
Thanks for any input - it got me to think differently.
