Were taking the nut off or putting it on?

If it hangs going on, I would try to chase the threads on the stud with a tap. If it hangs coming off you might try spray some rust penetrant on the threads and run the nut off until it hangs up. When it hangs up, run the nut down tight again, spray with more penetrant and run the nut off again. Repeat the process until the nut will come off.
