Did any of you see the coverage of the 24 Hours of LeMans? One of the Ferrari teams had this very thing happen to the Left Rear. They were in the garage for quite some time with a large impact gun attempting to remove a center lock hex hut. IT WAS STUCK! They were even shown using the CO2 fire extinguisher in an attempt to use temprature extremes to effect a change, to no avail. I had to go to work and they still had not gotten the wheel loose. Also mentioned was that some of the drive pins were fractured and would have to be delt with when the wheel was removed.
