if you use JB weld you would have a crowbar hanging permenently from your car/rims you could try to ger copper pipping (same size as ur lug and hammer it in so it woul dmake an imprint of the lug, and maybe try to get it out that way?you should maybe try to jack ur car up too. and put it on some bricks so it takes the tension off of the wheel.

I've had this situation before. It was like last winter and I couldn't get one of my rear wheels off cuz the stud was stripped and what not, so it was stuck on the hub. So I had to take it to my friend at Firestone.

Basically what the guy did to get the stud off was:

Drill the poop out of the stud till it was down to nothing. yes it hurt the wheel but its better than having the wheel stuck on your car fo lyfe!


I would also suggest that if you're able to get to a lift. Lift your car up so that you can get to the hub easily (maybe). Then turn your wheel in such a way that you can see the stud sitting there and bang the sucker out. it should fly right out. then stick a new stud in the same way.

Take off all the other lugs. Jack that wheel up and support the car well. Wrap towels around rim followed by chain. Hook chain to truck. Drive truck.

There are finesse players and hammerheads. I'm the latter.

:eh: Thats the stupidest thing I ever heard. Youd probaly shift the supports and pull the car down off the jack before you got the wheel off.


Go to Home Depot and find the proper size drill bit, buy a few, and drill the lug down until the nut falls off. Then buy a new lug, and have it installed.

honda told me its 10 point hardened steel and they dont make bits to go through that, the bolt wasnt really turned at all it was just stuck, so i would have to replace the hub stud and I dont know how to do that

my neighbor told me a few hours, some titanium or cobolt drill bits, a can of oil and some patience will do it. Ill have to call some expert machine shops or better shops then GAY ASS HONDA who dont wanna put the labor hours into it.

This might be a bright idea or a really stupid one. Couldn't u take off the axle and all the arms holding ur hub and everything off so u could at least have the wheel/hub off the car. Maybe you could then work it backwards. At least u could take it somewhere without getting ur car towed. If u have it off ur car the truck pulling method might work if u can hold the hub down LOL.
