First spray all of the studs and cones with a good penetrating oil. Then strike all around the inner steel part of the drive tire (not the hub) with a sledge hammer HARD to loosen up the cones. You also may have to use at least a 2" diameter rod at least 4' long and smack the other side of the tire HARD from the opposite side of the truck. Try to hit on the steel part of the tire and not on the rubber.

Fact of the week

The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
