Goodwill takes used tools. Sockets are available that will not fail while attempting to remove a nut. On my 90 legacy i could pick up the wheel off the ground trying to remove my Axle nut... my first ever attempt to do one... turned the breaker bar over and even stood on it... 230 lb and it never gave... got the 10 ft 3/4 inch galvanized pipe on the breaker bar and it gave right up. I cannot imagine a quality socket failing on a task like removing a nut.

Hope you get it worked out. That is a tough one.
