Get a socket that is just slightly smaller than the correct size for the nut, and tap it onto the nut with a hammer. Then use an impact gun and it should come off. It will probably ruin the socket but thats probably your cheapest way out.

If it is like the problem I had you are going to have to break it off. I had it where the nut would just turn and turn and turn and not go anywhere. What happened was at the very end/start of the lug nut, it "wallered out" the threads on the stud. No impact wrench or pulling or prying would get this sucker off and I couldn't get to the backside to grind off the stud head either. I ended up having to just grab the wheel and tire and just kept "yanking" on it until I broke the damn stud off. Luckily, I didn't damage my wheel

Manny, Mo, and Jack usually have the wheel stud in stock. Shoot by there first and pick one up. Then break it off if you can. Turn the hub until you get to where that particular stud is clear behind the rotor. Hammer it out--it will pop out after a hit or two.

Place the new stud in position. It probably will not go all the way in. Place a nut that is way too big on the stud and thread the correct not onto the stud. Then tighten the nut until the stud seats completely.
