Default Stuck! 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.

I had a stud break on me before too.. I went to walmart and bought a mini torch and cut it off.. I ruined my wheel though.. (luckily they were steelies)

Autozone sells kits to removed broken/stripped studs..

If the Accords wheels are the stock ones that I am thinking, just remove all the other studs and try a little heat NOT ENOUGH TO DAMAGE ANYTHING and then hit it with the impact again full strength. If that doesnt do it, try something behind the wheel pushing outward to keep preasure on it while using the impact. Works best with 2 people.
