Hammer a 19mm socket over the nut and remove it that way. Your socket wil be worthless after that so make sure you use a Craftsman or somthing so you can get it replaced.

Yea that's what i would do... It weird but sometimes the 12pts. can bite better... Also you may want to try a smaller socket than a 19mm since the standard lugnut is 19mm-3/4".... I've had to do this a lot of times and so far it's worked everytime.... If that fails then maybe try getting a pipe wrench on there.. I dunno cuz i've never had to go that far.. Good Luck

put a chisel on the end and hit it with a BFH until you literally, bust a nut.
