you can hammer on a socket a little bit smaller than the size of the lugnut and get it off that way.

I got it off...painfully and slowly with vise grips and a 4 foot pipe...took a while, stud is toast. but thats okay replacing the moser ones anyway. with new ARP's.

it'll be all together tom, front's are on, ground down the brakes and running a spacer. they are 15x4's with 2 7/8's backspacing.
