Well, since you asked....  I got a nice, hand-sized piece of rubber --
1/8" thick, like what you find on piano dollies -- and held the nut in
place (bare-handed) while I turned the shoulder bolt down
ever-so-slightly.  Worked like a charm!  No teeth marks, either!  Same
idea as what they use to open stubborn jar lids -- which is where I got
the idea.  Just a hunch.
