now thats a new one :)

the bottom of it broken and just spinning then??

Does pulling it upwards and turning make any difference??

If all else fails you can lever them up and the lugs will bend, had to do that once on one that had rusted on

Sometimes they are difficult to get off when the engine is hot :)
