like steven said use a penetrating oil. i like pb blaster, any autoparts store sells it. if there is paint on the threads sealing the nut, wire brush some off so the oil can creep in there. if you dont have acess to a cutting torch or impact, try a propane torch and just warm the nuts up some. this will cause them to expand, then spray em up. if i remember, the h uses a 7/8 or 15/16 nut. see if you can buy or borrow a 3/4 drive breaker bar and a socket. get the breaker bar on the nut and rock it back and forth just enough to get it to move, then spray it up some more. you should be able to get them off then. run the nuts almost all the way out, then get the wedges loose. be careful if the tire is loaded with chloride and water, its real heavy,maybe 5-600 lbs. you may have to let the nuts soak for a day or two. chase the threads with a die before you put em back on, i dab a little anti seize on the threads too.
