Gorilla nut issues !!!
I had a set of gorilla lug nuts on my ride for a while now and decide to swap out my rims for some blackies. I get to my passenger side front tire and one lug nut just refused to come off - it stop, and just won't go anymore , so I forced it off and the stud spun- which means I have to replace it now - so I get out the dermel and cut the nut off along w/ part of the stud - Anyway I get to the other side and same issue - except that I haven't yet broke the stud - but I know if I push the it, it's going to do the same thing - i'm trying to avoid taht , anyone have any ideas - I was going to wd-40 it up and then try - I'll be doing this sometime today but will wait to see if anyone has an idea.

If the stud was spinning in the hub, then you need a new HUB too, not just a new stud.

use an impact wrench, that should work.... Also, you should get a new hub... but i've just replaced the studs without a problem, the new ones are usually a little bigger.

Right on peoples - yeah if I have to replace the hub then shall be it.
Thank god my pops owns a shop ha, we did the wd-40 thing and that seems to work - funny how lub can almost be your best friend in a lot of situations -
I think i'll just go w/ an upgraded aem kit I was looking into getting, my bro has them on his teggy but seems to go thru pads like a females go thru pads.
