If your car is still drivable, take it to a gas station and see if someone can throw an impact on that one lug nut.
You'll probably end up replacing that one lug and lug nut, as the threads will normally pull and bind up in the lug nut.

Good luck with it.

PB Blaster and a 4 way lug wrench. PB is so much better than liquid wrench or WD. It will loosen that stuff up quick.

One thing you might try is to soak it good, then hit it with a torch to get it hot. Usually, that will suck the liquid wrench into the threads. I have an impact wrench, but I have found that the star wrench works better. Use a cheater bar (a piece of pipe) to get more leverage.

How about a nutcracker. One of the nuts is not even a lug nut. just a normal nut.

Yeah, that'll work too. What kind of numbskull would out a regular nut on a wheel?

after you spray it, work it back and forth just to make sure you dont break off your threads.
