Yes to both. Take as much off as you can to give you as much room to work. The dust shield I forgot to mention has a hole where you can get those out. but my advice is take it off if you can.

 

i hate my life right now

 

try spraying some strong penetrating oil like liquid wrench's penetrating oil and try out the irwin bolt grip nut remover

the liquid wrench penetrating oil


and IRWIN Bolt Grip Nut Remover

This is the tools I use.

Try and see if you can get a shop to lend to you.

 

not tryin to be a dick but u guys arent getting that i snapped it because of those same exact bolt out sockets.. there is no room to put another one on, theres about 1mm clearance between the rim and the broken peice

 

i have bunch of stripped lugs from crappy soft lugnuts i used the spiral sockets on the rest of em and it worked fine but this one just snapped.... and they're arent rusted or anything

 

Oh, then just go to a shop. Use an air hammer with the fine point.

 

oh, damn. that sucks. the only thing i can think of is to drill a hole all the way thru the stud and try breaking the stud.. idk if that made sense to you..

 

or that^^ try using an air hammer and splitting the lug nut??

 

thanks for the help, Yeaa im thinkin an air hammer or drill it out.. think i can save the rim with air hammer??

 

These RPF1s are 200 bucks a pop but I jus need this thing off

 

try what i said earlier. drill into the center of the stud to weaken the stud and then try the air hammer? maybe it'll be easier.

 

Yeah I would just lay into it with a drill bit and hollow it out. There is only the taper left on the lug like u said so u won't have to drill much. A new stud is like 5 bucks and u can change it at the house when ur done. Honestly it shouldn't be that big of a deal at this point, just a little patience and time.

 

I'm an idiot, totally forgot the wheel was stuck on

 

A skilled mechanic (way more skilled than I) would take a small chisel and rotate the remainder of the nut out of there.

I've witnessed mechanics working on big trucks removing and replacing fasteners and never using a wrench.
