I've had to do that twice in the past much easer replacing the lug once you get the wheel off. Think i rembember using an air grinder and auger bit to remove the nut and stud down to where the wheel could be removed

Just bought another aluminum rim for $20 bucks from the junk yard, so she's coming off one way or another!

Why would anyone take a air chisel to a stuck lugnut. Like the other guy said they make extractors just for that. Cant fix stupid.

Just drill it the middle of the stud to a 1/2 and give it a good pry and it will break right off a whole 10 min job. No need to open the diff and grind the stud work smarter and harder.

Go buy a QUALITY metal drill bit and drill the center out. THEN air chisel to remove the old nut.

Easy solution.
