if you have a welder...weld a new nut ontop of the 1 your trying to take off. Then use a the right size socket and put it on the new nut you welded on and turn.
Hope this helps

do you have cutting discs? i had the same prob when i was rebuilding a motor (same one as in my truck) and the exhaust manifold bolt was severely rusted. no room to cut it off, so wheres what you do:
grind the outside 6 faces down to fit the socket size below the one that doesnt work
(14mm? try 13mm or 1/2", 13mm? try 12, 12mm? try 11 or 7/16", etc etc...)
i took the 9/16" bolt head down to 12mm because it was that badly stripped/rusted, and it came out no prob. this is alot cheaper than going to a shop, or using a torch, or spending stupid $ on over-hardened bolt removers that crack when you drop them, and i've yet to have this method fail me (also works for downsizing huge bolt heads for clearance)

Sounds like when you're moving to a new place -- promise lots of beer but unless you want your $1,200 TV all scratched to heck, don't haul out the beer until the actual moving is done! (Obviously, I foudn out about this the hard way.)
Got the Mudlites, brought them to a different dealer (see Bigredhead's thread titles "My Letter To Honda") to get them on, because I wanted them on immediately the place where I bought them couldnt' do it immediately. I asked him at 9 a.m. to put on the tires and remove the stripped nut. They did neither. A weekend of muddin' wasted! Anyway, thanks muchly for all the tips on removing a stripped lug nut. I -- and many others -- will no doubt use these ideas in the near and far future.
Cheers
