I went at them with a blow torch, and the left hand side one came off like nobody's business. The right hand side one will not budge. Cooked the nut for 5 minutes with a torch, put 215lbs on the end of a breaker bar and all that accomplished was to bend a wheel stud. Heated again, tried it with an impact and got the same result. Grrrrr.

I'll cut the damn thing off just to spite it now.
