2 ways. first get a socket that is just a bit too small and pound it on the lug with a BFSH (Big F Sledge Hammer), then a big breaker bar. and 2 if thhat dont work have someone weld the socket to the lug and twist the sucker off. either way if it's been cross threaded you will most likely break the lug off.

The million dollar question is how to remove it? I've been messing around with it for a few hours and have had no luck. Can you cut it off with a torch or some how drill it out? If anybody has a idea I would appreciate it very much.
