OK, then heat the nut's up, and apply beaucouix down pressure and hope they come off. Or get yourself an air compressor of adequate size, and a 3/4 impact, and remove them this way---much easier, and a couple more dollars.

Then be sure to return the nut's to their original torque spec's, to prevent the rear wheels and hubs from doing the loose hub mariga.

No words of lubrication were mentioned in your original posting---new story.

I went the most direct route.
