Probably the same way I did it. I kept trying to take the lug nut off and eventually it snapped the stud off.

You could always just drill off the nut itself. Get a 110volt drill and a monster bit. Then go to town on the nut and stud until you drill off the threads.

You use an impact on tighten and just crank it on until the stud snaps. This has the nasty habit of f'ing your wheel up though.

Since most of us have smartphones with e-mail, that means we'll all get the alert fairly quickly.
