Default Stuck! Need help PLEASE!

Hey, guys! My friend has a '94 Accord EX (not that model matters) with 4-wheel discs. We were going to change her rear pads today, but came across a problem...
One stud on each tire in the rear came loose, so we couldn't get the tire off. I recently (a few months ago) encountered the same problem on my ITR. However, I took off the other nuts, allowing me to put the weight of the car on that one loose stud, tighten the nut up enough to pull the stud back through the hub, and then use an impact wrench to fnally get the lug off. I'm not sure if the Accord's lugnuts are cross-threaded or not, but the same technique I ued in the past didn't work this time; the studs just continue to spin. I was thinking about buying a 3/4" nut splitter, but I don't know if that will work, either. Are there ANY other options? Please, ANY advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
