# If you mean "torque" wrench, that's a tool to assist a mechanic to accurately tighten a bolt to a pre-determined torque. Torque is the twisting force. If you over-torque bolts they will fail, if you UNDER-torque them, they will work loose. # If you really mean "torch wrench", that's a term some guys use in difficult situations. "Ah, nuts, I can't get that rusted bolt to come off so I'll just use the torch wrench" Sometimes it's called a "hot wrench" or whatever other euphemism the mechanic is accustomed to, but it's basically an acetylene torch with a cutting tip.

How do you remove a seized locking nut on a jeep grandcherokee?

You might try some of the spray on lubricant, anti rust stuff that you can find almost anywhere. Spray it on and let it penetrate for a half hour and then try to loosen it again. Some taps on the end of your socket wrench might free it also. If that doesn't work an air wrench or applied heat with a torch might help but be very careful with the torch as more than one person has set the car on fire this way.

How do you get the fan off of the water pump on a 96 Chevy van 57L?

You're probably finding that the shaft the collar nut is on spins when you try to remove it. There are several tricks. If the unit is still on - leaving the belt on for tension, heat the collar nut with a torch and rap your open end wrench with a hammer. this should loosen it rather easy. If the unit is apart, and your replacing the water pump, lock up the pump impellor, heat the collar nut and rap your open end wrench with a hammer. CAREFUL WITH THE TORCH. Good Luck.
