I'm certainly happy you managed to get the bolt off, but a little disappointed I didn't get to share my trick... so I'm going to do it anyway.
I was putting a 3" downpipe on my Pontiac. Exhaust temps + constantly getting splashed with water, so of course the the old nuts were rusted and stuck on like nothing else. So I put the wrench over the nut, positioned at 4 o'clock. I put a jack underneath it, slowly pumped it up until it touched the wrench. Then just a couple more pumps and crrrraaaaackk! Most beautiful sound in the world.
Yes! that was a great feeling, It's funny because my father has a W140 and there is ALWAYS that one bolt/screw/nut that will not come off, and this time. even though i was able to get them off there was that one that was giving me that extra 10 minutes of hard work!
use a bolt extractor. i had a broken lug nut that no one would even look at it. went to sears picks up a set of bolt extractors and took it out myself. BOOYAH! but be careful not to drill into the rim, which i didnt do. BOOYAH!
I had to take my rear wheel off yesterday and it was also hard to get the bolts out, they really made a noise when I loosened them. When I finished what I was doing and put the wheel back on, I put a little anti-sieze on the conical part of the bolt.

i remember mercedes' selling a high heat lubricant in a brown bottle. Works great. but in this case would this help? and to the question of how that happened. from the looks of it i may have been driving it on the rim on the rubber i was only a few hundred feet away from my home when i noticed it and i thankfully didn't damage the rim.
