Nelson, It depend on size of nut.
First I would apply lots of WD40 and leave it a couple of hours. My usuall method would be to file two oposite sides of the nut, and once I have filed enoungh away use a vice grips. A couple of light taps of a hammer once you have applied the vice grips is usually enough to free it. Obviuosly the nut is a gonna and need replacing.

Be very carefull with that grinder. You need to remove the nut without damaging the thread that it goes on.
