You could also use a hammer and small punch... but it is definately the hard way and often damages the nut making it hard to get a socket on later.

I used a hammer and a small punch. There must have been a burr on the threads or something. The second nut come right off. I got the rotor off now just have to get the spindle off.
Thanks guys for the advice.

- Street Jeep for snow and ice, still on blocks in the driveway. '73 CJ5, 258 inline six, T18 tranny, Model 20 transfer case, Dana 30/44 w/ 4.27 ratio (soon to be 3.73), original Cutlas hubs, half-cab waiting to be installed. Daily driver is a 20-year-old Mazda pickup.
And to resize pics, download irfanview (irfanview.com--it's free). Open your pic in Irfanview, then click Image>Resize. I typically resize from 400 to 600 pixels on the long side of an image. Save As a .jpg file, and reduce the image quality to 85-90%. You won't notice a difference in quality on the monitor, and it reduces the file size even more.
