Your in a little bit of a tough spot. I've had this hapen in the past. I ended up fixing it myself by first braking it off.

How I did it...

Get a braker bar with a "cheeter" piece of pipe that will fit over the braker bar to make it longer. With enough leverage you will be able to brake the stud off. But now you will need to replace the stud. I'm not sure what this requires on an evo.

What are you talking about?? Why did you even create this thread? For people to feel sorry for you, this guy in the link went through the same thing you did, and he explains exactly how to fix it, I was just trying to help you out.

i had this happen to be one once on an old car.

The way i did it was to remove the axel nut and pull ou the whole hub assembly with the wheel and just use a cutoff tool to but the back portion of the stud then pulled it out with the lug nut. then since it's off it will bew easy to place a new stud in anyways.
