Heat, lots and lots of heat. Need a pretty big tip to bring the nut up without wicking heat into the bolt.

I had some on a 7600 Ford I bought, wheels were dished in and I wanted them dished out (for stability). Tried a 3/4" drive socket with breaking bar. Broke the bar with 6' of pipe. Put a heavier bar on and tried 12' of pipe and broke the socket. Heated them about 5 mins each with a #2 cutting tip and used a 3/4" drive socket with 4' of cheater bar. All came 'right' off with my 250# on the bar. With enough heat and a long enough bar they will come off or twist off.
