Air hammer with a chisel bit. No sweat. Done a few of them because of those capped lugs. Or pull the axle providing it still has drums and cut the back of the stud off.

X2 -drill out the remainder of the nut first (multiple drill holes to remove material). Then hopefully you can hit the lug stud hard with a center punch and push it out the back (they're just pressed in from the other side but will be in there tight). Probably the nut will eventually break apart. Don't damage your wheels though!
Then you'll need to buy new studs. You might want to replace all of the studs once you've got the wheels and brakes apart -same effort to do one or five.

To the OP: Quit making multiple posts on this. Get off the keyboard, go out there, and go to work.
Your dang computer or phone is not going to do it for you.
And we don't make house calls.
