does it just spin when u try to take it off? if it does.. it could be possible that the entire lug stud stripped itself off the hub.

if thats the case.. you will probably need to do some kind of drilling the get the lug nut off, then replace the lug stud.

I was thinking the same.

This happened to me once. I didnt do any drilling, but I tried so many different things. Air tools, hammer, vice grips, etc...It took like 2 hours to get off but it came off. Lug nut was shot and stud had to be replaced.
