Default Lug nut/stud problem.

I was taking my lug nuts off to change my brakes and i'm guessing the ribs on the lug stud stripped so now everytime i turn the lug nut, the wheel stud spins with it.

How do i get/brake this off? Please help


Thanks in advance

i had a problem like that...i used a dremel...with the longest bit home depot had that was for metal...it's not a cut-off wheel, it's more like a dirll bit, it's made to dirll into then you can move it side to side, ex: to cut out the holes in your finder for the jdm side markers...hope that helps

might be able to cut off the back of the wheel stud and pull the whole thing through with your rim? using a grinder maybe?

Worst case, put the other lugs back on and drive it to a shop
