Whats the best way to break off a cross threaded lug and wheel stud?the stud popped out of place so its just free floating in there.any suggestions?i have a flat with a nail in the tire and need to get the wheel off.

 

use an impact gun or something and just untighten it..its gotta come off with enough brute force..mine was stripped too i needed a new lug/ stud..took like 15-20 min to replace teh stud..it was really easy

 

i cant use an impact cause like i said the stud is not in place.it was pushed out last time we messed with it so it just spins

anybody
?????????????

 

wowo people are very helpful here thanks

 

Can you cut it off with a dremel tool??

 

got a picture?

 

Take all your other lugnuts off. Pull on the outside of the tire furthest away from the broken stud. This should lodge the stud back into its home. Use the impact after that while holding onto the wheel....

 

thank you

 

Let me know if that works.

 

well it didnt work.i went to my work and got a nut splitting tool and that broke.so now im sittin on the comp cooling off.im so pissed....

well.....i put some fix a flat in it just for temp. and tightens the lugs back up,took it for a drive and it now vibrates like crazy..i didnt do anything to it.this is so frustrating.all i did was try to pull the cross threaded lug off and now all of a sudden .....vibrations.

bump

 

Dont ever use fix a flat...

Sometimes that **** gets stuck to the inside of wheel and is a real bitch to get off...It should be why your having crazy vibrations.


When you fix a tire with a nail in it just pull out the nail and use a tire patch...I used one on one of my old tires and it held out for 20,000 more miles.

 

i got it i had to use a air hammer to get the lug off.but my buddy works for toyota so hes gonna plug it and rebalance it fo free 99 lol

 

Glad to hear you got it off, I was going to say an air-chisel. Lol.. Ironic that the flat tire was on the rim with the broken stud though.

 

ya my dick head roomate put the screw there although he wont admit but i know it.the force is strong with this one...lol...i didnt tell him about my flat or anything and he was like how your flat and bought me a can of fix a flat..all i have to say is kharma is a motha*****n bitch.so is revenge

 

Haha, nice.. Have fun with that one.
