    Sometimes you just better of reaching for the gas axe instead of breaking tools.

    Did you try the left way? You know, Lefty Loosey? lol just kidding. The only advice i had was to heat them up and try again but your already did that. Now that they've been heated up, the molecular internal structure of the lugs is compromised so might as well cut them off @NorthernMechanic

    Make sure you are turning the correct way. Heat them up and let them cool down for a while then try again. You should replace the studs in the hub after having all that heat around them.

    Everything is getting scrapped. Just trying to break down the pieces to something more manageable.

    Yup I double checked. Right handed thread on one side, left handed on the other.
