The screw extractor did the trick.

I haven't tried this, but what about a nut splitter? Is there
enough room to get one in there?

Subject: Trailing arm studs
Dear listers,
I am in the process of replacing the trailing arm bushes on my TR250..
One of the nyloc nuts spins on the trailing arms' studs, I suspect the
threads have corroded. Since this nut is behind the bearing/hub assembly
( accessible only thru the two socket holes in the rear hub assy) I
assume the only way to get it off is to back out the stud with a screw
extractor. Anyone have a better idea? Liberal amounts of penetrating
oil before using the screw extractor?
Thanks
