Chap a socket on and appy some heat.
After wards if a lot of heat is required you will need to check the wheel bearings and seals.

Cheers

If hammering a socket on (use an impact socket if possible,its stronger)does not work,hammer a big enough nut onto the bolt head then weld the nut to the bolt from inside the nut.
