Try drilling it out. Get a tampered drill bit and a lot of time and might be able to drill it out and just replace a stud.

 

This happened to me. I took a thin wall socket and forced it in with a hammer, then with an impact I got it out. Easy fix. The socket has to be a size smaller than the actual lug nut.

 

^^^ you must not have read this whole thread

 

Drill drill drill. That's how I get locking lug nuts off when customers can't find their wheel lock key. You don't even have far to go.

 

They definitely didn't read the whole thread. I agree with the group that say drill the center and then buckle down and air hammer it out. A very small hardened punch/chisel between the threads and snapped nut may work. Good luck!

 

This will not get you all the way because the point will flatten out. It will in fact gett you started to where you will have to drill it out the rest of the way. Had the same issue with similar lug nuts. It should only take you a couple of hours to do. Also i would recommend putting painters tape around the area on your rim so you dont further damage it with shavings.

 

Drill out the center of the stud and then just yank on the wheel. Should snap off no problem.

 

i think it'll be a tad harder then that..

 

This happened to me once with the same style wheel. What i ended up doing was removing the hub from the spindle and grinding the back of the stud and pressing the rest out.

 

With the stud weakened from drilling it out, and the leverage you'll get from the wheel, I doubt it would be that difficult...

 

probably a difficult task haha, but should be able to do it from the inside, I wouldn't remove that caliper

There are nut removal sockets available at Sears. You just tap it on the stripped nut and use a socket ratchet to let the socket dig into the lugnut. It will take it off.

You will probably need to put your longest box wrench over the ratchet and use it as a lever to get some torque on the ratchet though because the ratchet will not give you enough leverage to break the nut loose.

Why not just go to the tire shop and have them do it? That would probably be cheaper than buying those removal sockets. also will save you time pain and probably loss of blood lol best of luck man, should've used the PB blaster that stuff works miracles

 

I would try this first. I have removed broken and stripped nuts using a chisel or even a long punch. Angle it in there as best you can and give it good solid hits with a hammer. If that doesn't work than drill baby drill.

 

if u live in stockton cali any tire shop will take that off for $10 bucks

 

How has no one asked who originally installed these wheels? If you snapped s lug nut they were clearly way over-torqued

 

well in my opinion your half way there with taking off the lug nut, its destroyed but almost removed, best bet go in there with a fine point flat head chisel n try hammering it in a counter clockwise direction. if that dont work use an air hammer, and hammer the lug nut with the chisel in a criss cross pattern, once uve gotten almost all the way down on the lug nut smack the chisel in the crevace of each part of the x youve made with the air hammer. Then you should be able to crack the lug nut apart, then once its apart it should slide off the wheel stud and out the lug nut hole, then its a matter of replacing the wheel stud which should be easy. Good luck, key thing is keep your composure no matter how much it pisses you off.
