How deep/narrow are the pockets the nut is in? ...... coz about now I'd probably get a thin chisel sharpened up and cut down the sides of the nut to split it off.

if i can find a chisel to do that with... today is a bad day for working on the car.

I vote ED's idea. Hammer on a slightly smaller block impact socket and remove the bolt with a power bar with a big piece of pipe on the end. You'll either turn the nut off or twist the stud off. Either outcome will get the wheel off and both will likely require a new stud.

I've used the slightly smaller socket method numerous times with success for many different nuts and bolt.

ill have to get a bigger hammer because i got a smaller socket on there pretty good and still ended up slipping

ill get at it tomorrow

The 3rd option where our friend Murphy is involved is it goes..*click* *click* *click* as you turn it, meaning you've stripped the splines in the stud

Forgot about that one. Never experienced it myself but my buddy did on his 2000 Chev 1500. Had to to cut the nut in half with a dremel
