I think I stripped a lug nut and have no clue what to do. I don't even know how i did it but I went to take it off and it kept spinning and wouldn't come off. Does anyone have any experience or ideas on what to do. I don't need it off any time soon, but I am sure I will sometime.

Thanks

 

beat a socket on it. or impact Gun.

If the lug nut is turning but just spinning on the stud you can remove the 4 good lugs and pull gently on the wheel to remove the bad lug. Then replace or most likely you'll need to replace the stud also.

 

^^^^ What he said

 

thanks I will give that a try

 

Any luck getting the lugnut off?

We had that happen on a Ralliart we had. Ended up drilling out the lug bolt. Being careful not to damage the rim. Needed to have a hardened drill bit and lots of patience.

Actually used a couple different size bits, started small in the center of the lug and went up to larger drill bits until we had a hole almost as big as the diameter of the lug, and then with a pry bar got the wheel to pop off, breaking the rest of the lug bolt off.

Then had to replace the lug. Used a lug nut, and a bunch of washers to pull the lug bolt through and get it seated all the way before putting the wheel back on.

 

I haven't tried yet I am in school and my spring break is next week so I will it a shot then. Thanks for the advice and I hope I don't have to drill.

 

Not so bad if you do, just takes a little bit of time.

Good Luck.

 

well how'd that work? gently pull on the wheel to apply pressure to the lug-nut as you turn it.
