Very productive day in the garage, getting close to the first drive of the Dart and on the last stud I was tightening on the rear wheel, the flipping stud spun on me and the nut won't back off.

A little background... the rear brakes are Ford disk brakes. The nuts are acorn style (closed) with a lock nut (which requires a key) for each wheel.

Tightening them on by hand, thought it was tightening fine, but stud started spinning. All I can imagine is that the splines on the back side of the stud have not engaged the disk. Nut was going on a little tight (just beyond what I could do with my fingers), so now I can't back it off either because the stud is spinning.

All I can think to do is remove the other 4 nuts and "wedge" between the mounting face of the wheel and disk hat to hopefully get the stud splines to grab.

This is on a D60 with Torino ends for the disk kit.
