Are you talking about a wheel locknut? If so easiest way to get that thing off is a 3/4 socket or 12 point wrench and a sledgehammer <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

He's talking about the hub locknut.

You can remove it by lightly tapping it with a screwdriver and hammer. It will come off easily enough.

Technically you're supposed to tighten it to a specific torque amount though so this is where the wrench will come in handy however, I have seen many instances where this wasn't done w/out any harm but you need to take that w/ a grain of salt and make your own call.

The chevy socket does work when ground down and has been noted on this and other forums.
