just like they title says, my wheel stud was broken and kinda rusty on the end and someone put the lug nut back on now its stuck and i cant even get it to turn.

i need help! before i damage my wheel even more, any way to brake the stud or lug nut off?

its short and there looks like there is no room to get a socket around it on one side... i have tired and tired but looks like the only thing im doing is rounding the damn thing off.
98 civic dx. koing 14's stuck stud and lug nut
help please!

 

make sure the wheel is secure and go down the local garage that has an impact wrench and let loose on the lug nut :D

 

haha tried the impact already, but i guess ill do that.
will it hurt to drive with only three lugs? the other 3 are fine and tourqed to spec.
or i was thinking of taking it back to discount cause they have there free rotaition and see if they can get it off

 

Use a four way and turn it. It will break off

 

strong bar or breaker bar with a cheater pipe will definitely break it.

 

It's ok to drive with 3.

 

Im driving with 3 as we speak. New stud only costs a couple bucks. Very easy to replace although Ive yet to get my lazy A$$ to do so.

 

get extended wheel studs

 

thanks guys!
tired a four way wrench and it wont grip the bolt.

i havent tried a braker bar yet but i will.
§95HATCH§-- dont they have to be pressed in?

i have been thinking about getting extened studs but i wanna do more things to the car before that.
i want to lower it badly but i can find omni coilovers anywhere the slip on type.

 

If all else fails, use a hack saw or grinder to cut stud, then use a hammer and carefully pop the cut stud out the back, then use bolt for new stud to pull it into the hole where the old one was pressed in,(it should be pretty snug) dont get it too tight, put it all back together and put the wheel on and tighten it down good. you should be good to go.

 

unless you are using a dremel,or something with that precision, dont use a power grinder

 

ok,thanks
i got it off sat there with a impact and a hammer pounded the bolt on a lil and hit with impact and eventully it came off.

sounds alot easies then pulling the hub off and haveing it pressed in.
going to do it when i lower it.
thanks for all the ideas!!
