Ohk, the front driver side rim, the wheel stud(what the lug nut spins onto) spins with the lugnut, this is the case for 2 lug nuts, maybe more, but any suggestions on what to do to stop the stud from spinning so that i can get the lug off?

 

the only time i've seen this happen is with teh skunk2/blox lug studs. they dont really have a good fit in the hub.

what you'll have to do is try using an impact on them and hope they come off.

if it comes to it, youll have to reach in there and weld the stud to the hub.

what!!!??

sounds like them lugs were stripped last time they were installed.You probably tried taking them off this time just to find that you destroyed the threads on the stud. now the cross threaded studs wont allow the lug nut to come off and you've wrecked the tooth and spline on the stud to ****.

i'd say dont bother with the hub or the studs anymore. Replace both with non-life-endangering new parts. Drive around with even just one loose stud and your asking for your wheel to fall off.

 

all u really need to do is hammer out the [freak]ed up wheel studs thorugh the back of the hub. and replace wit new ones shouldnt take any more den a few min per each. tools u need is hammer, air gun, a couple washers and a lug nut to tighten the news one back on.

 

^^ this is true. But i feel that hes having troubles actually getting the lug nut to come off the stud. He might have to use a crowbar or some type of lateral force on the wheel to keep the stud from spinning. otherwise that wheel will stay on the hub and he wouldnt be able to get the old studs out.

 

TORCH! then replace studs.

 

oo hmm den yea torch it or if u got skills wit a grinder try to grind it in half den hit wit a chisel to break it in half

 

ohk, here's what i did, i took a drill, put a bit on that would fit inside the lugnut, and pulled the trigger and away i went, 3 hours later, i had successfully drilled out 3 spinning wheel studs and was able to take the RIM off and change out the flat tire..........thx for all the suggestions
