My wheel was reverse threaded, but not my locking hubs, came off in the usual direction. What I found underneath is another story. Good luck and be armed with PB Blaster, Kroil and a torch. I got it off, FINALLY! I had soaked them in Gibbs for a day or two, then went out there with a breaker bar and a crowbar. I placed the crowbar across the top of the hub and under one lug stud to hold the hub in place (the axle is currently resting on a pair of sawhorses), and leaned on the breaker bar at the same time. I got all of them to come out, with the exception of one that broke. Fortunately, it broke with quite a bit of material outside the hub body, so I should be able to back that out with a Vise-Grips or something once I've got the threads well-soaked with Gibbs.
