This might be one of the dumbest things i've ever seen on here. You seriously got beat so bad by a lug bolt that you had to cut your wheel apart? Thats great.

Cliffs: don't buy shitty locking lug bolts?

Is that VW's fault?

Here is was I tried.


*welded extention to lug* ( I could only do half of it because There wasnt any room to ge to the bottom, that broke)

*easy out* Didnt really work since drill bits are brass

The lug tool that they are talking about... yup... That didnt fit inside the hole because it was way to small. As you can tell in the 1st pic


Drilling may have work had the tap not been titanium.

Are you that retarded? EZ outs go on the INSIDE of the bolt. You drill a hole through the center. If the hole is large enough, it'll relieve pressure exerted from the bolt into the threads, then you put the EZ out in a drill, set the drill to reverse, and drive it into the hole you just drilled. EZ out goes in, bolt unscrews itself.


Also, you keep mentioning that you have lug bolts instead of studs as if we didn't already know that. Volvo, BMW, Mercedes, VW, Audi, and most other European cars use bolts instead of lugs; we already know that, it's nothing new to us.

No theres another thing someone was trying to tell me that will go over the lug. I know about "EZ out" But you must have missed when I said I got a TAP!!! stuck in the KEY... because i didnt want to go out and buy a EZ out kit. The tap that I used is titanium... EZ out is what? brass... So please tell me how I was doing it wrong? When I used the tap they broken lug key was moving a bit so I tried to just pull it out and thats how the TAP broke in the key


So I guess that would make me retarded... I shouldnt have been cheap to start out with but I did

You could have welded another nut on that lug bolt to remove it. Or just had a tire shop get it off.

I did take it to a tire shop, no one wanted to work on it. I also took it to another shop and they tryed to weld it but they could only get half of it kept braking them.

The weld did not stick because the stud was coated. It should have been drilled and then welded. Or just drill the center out.

HAHA! That is SO not VW's fault. You know that the beloved BMW and Benz use lug bolts too, right?

Good times though Will read again! A+
