Thats just crazy! Some people shouldnt work on their cars.

Also i would avoid welding because you might fuse the lug to the stud and then you have a whole different problem.

socket and hammer. I had the key break on me instead of the lugnut. just went to the dealer and bought a new key. or if you dont feel like it, most tire shops will remove it for you for a few dollars and not 100$.

Just go to sears or other places that sell tools and buy a lug nut removeal kit for $20-30 and you can do it yourself and youll have the tools for if it happens again.
