Thanks for your comments!

I worked with rotating the hub idea a bit and even tried to leverage the hole that the emergency brake linkage comes through, but no joy. I have a die on order, but a steel hardware store nut has already done an acceptable job of cleaning up most of the threads.

BTW: I used a 5lb sledge. I really didn't have to hit the lug hard - I held the sledge head in my hand and gave it about 3 solid raps when it started to move.

This is something that I have had to do in the past on a different brand car that had soft lugs (broken by a tire shop) - I had no idea that my first Porsche would be such a challenge in this area!
