When this problem occurred with the lug nuts on my F150 and Explorer (due t=
o air-gun over-tightening),  I fabricated an extension to my socket wrench =
handle using a hollow tube which at one time has been used in a closet to h=
ang clothes on.  This gave me the additional torque to free up the nuts.  S=
omething similar may work for you.

Cheers,

Brian

I had this exact problem with my Stag. I unded up having to cut all 4 wheel=
s off. In your case you've got little choice; you'll need to heat up the nu=
t. Hopefully that will be enough to get it off.

I have one of those extended wrenches especially for the wheel nut.
