You might be able to get a slightly undersized socket on there to remove the lug. Since you have a metric lug, use a standard size socket that just about fits. You will need to smack it on the lug w/ a hammer. Once it is stuck around the lug, use a ratchet or something w/ a long handle for leverage.

It should come off.
