Lug nut free spinning on wheel stud.. what to do?
 

This is for my friends Eclipse. We started taking off his wheels last night. Well heres the story. He bought his eclipse with wheels on it and they had special keys for them and the kid who had ti before didnt give the dealer any keys so he couldn't take off the wheels. Well we found out we could get an allenwrench on them since they are open ended and we got them all off but one on the right drivers side. We cranked on it and it popped and then would just keep spinning instead of coming off. Anyone know what to do in this situation??

cut it of is all you can do. I had it hapen to me, stupid tuner lugnuts:mad:

how would u go by doin that

Just cut the back side of the stud off w/ a grinder and replace it.

try hitting the tire outwards so the lug will stick a little then get a drill and drill progresively larger holes in the stud untill the stud breaks off below the nut. That is if you dont have a torch.

well we aint got much room to get to the stud and cut it off. naw we have a little tourch but thats about it. hmm this really sucks.

get a rotary tool(dremel) and cut the lug off, thats what is spinning right?

just remove the spash guard and you'll have lots of room

there is no splash guard.. and its also lowered. Yes the lug is the one that just keeps spinning

I dunno if it helps or not but try cutting it out somehow.

dynamite ;)

^ how about freeze it off?, im not joking get your hands on liguid nitrogen freeze it, and hit it with a big ass hammer! wait........

nice... lol he said ur a funny one! Ya i dont know what we are going to do right now. Doesnt want to vut off the wheel stud so thats ruled out. We will figure somethin out i hope.

he may want to consider that his wheel stuf is already hosed. My suggestion would be get out your dremel and cut directly across it. if you do it on the front of your lug, it shouldn't hurt your wheel unless you slip. then you should be able to pry it off it two parts.
