2005 GSXR 750. Got the forks off, trying to take the top nut off. I’ve followed the proper procedure but the top gold nut just won’t come off. I’ve soaked it in penetrating fluid and put a heat gun to it and it just won’t break loose. If I keep going at it, I feel like I’ll eventually round the nut off and then I’d be even more screwed. I’m at my wits and honestly not sure what the hell I am missing here. Very tempted to take it to a shop but I’ve already got so much money into this that I really don’t want to spend another $400 to make it someone else’s problem.

Any help is appreciated at this point.
