See full version: Why are my lug nuts not coming off
Take two large coins (2 pence coins work perfectly for this) and place them on either side of the nut. Grip the coins between the knuckles of your index and middle fingers for extra grip and twist in the direction needed to loosen the nut. here
The driveshaft WILL rotate unless it is in park even in drive,reverse,1,2,3. Just like when you are pulling it with the engine not running and the tires on the ground, the drive shaft is turning.
Excessively tightened lug nuts can strip the threads, distort brake rotors, damage the wheel, and possibly shear off the lug stud. Insufficiently tightened lug nuts can come loose, with catastrophic consequences.
Place the lug wrench on a lug nut and turn it counter-clockwise. Turn the wrench after you’ve secured it onto one of the nuts, pulling hard until you feel the lug nut begin to loosen. You don’t need to remove the lug nut entirely, just use the wrench to loosen it until it’s loose enough to remove with your fingers. here
The most common reason why a lug nut can be difficult to remove is because of age and rust. The newer a lug nut is, the easier it should be to remove, so if you own an older car and you have never changed its lug nuts, there is a chance that the lug nuts may be difficult to remove from a wheel. more
Tim Henn feels the lug nuts should be recalled, however, before someone gets hit trying to get a tire changed. [links]
However, auto parts stores sell generic "acorn" lug nuts that will fit the wheel for just a few bucks a set, and that way you don't waste your money.
Not all cars, however, have these lug nuts: some have the standard one piece hardened steel nuts. here
It turns off the steel lug nuts have a hollow aluminum (or in some cases chrome) cap, that owners claims can corrode and swell.
Every car, even if it doesn't come with a spare tire, is still supposed to come with a jack and lug wrench so you can remove the wheel in the event of a flat. more
But some Ford owners claim their lug wrench won't go on, at all. more

ditto on the weld, but don't tack it to the hub, tack on a piece of flat iron to the stud and secure the flat iron. more
Normaly the stud just drives into back of hub so make sure it is pushed all the way in the back, if it is it should not turn. If all the splines are wore off allready cut it, drill it and then put in a new good stud. Don't weld it fix it right, you may want to replace it some day if it gets to rusty. [links]
Re: wheel stud is spinning and lug nut wont come off here
All the above + when the wheel is off weld the lug back on, just tack it and then you'll find it'll either do up or come off.<br />Ross
