My 'gotta have it done now' approach has failed me yet again. 
Last November, I installed my 20mm Eibach spacers without the unmistakable benefit of using any anti-seize paste. This, my friends, is a "teaching moment" as they say.
Now, ~9 months and ~15k miles later, I've got a grade-A science project on my hands. The Eibach supplied conical seat bulge nuts are immovable. I'm guessing they've seized not only to the OE Ford wheel stud, but also the seat of the aluminum spacer itself. Even if I removed all 5 on a wheel, I'm certain I'll also have an issue removing the spacer from its cozy embrace of the rotor top hat surface.

I've ordered a new set of nuts from Eibach with the assumption that the ones I eventually remove will be surely unusable. So at this point, any and all suggestions for removal of said nuts and spacers (without destroying spacer or rotor) is greatly appreciated.
