Okay, so I was tightening the lug nut and the stop part of it snapped off, leaving it on tightly, but with no way to un-tighten it. What do I do?

Wow that sux. Yea you probably wont have tools for this. So take it to a pro. I am not exactly sure what I am seeing, but it looks like a peice of the lug is still there, and some of the stud broke off. Basically in these situations, they will put a hole through the stud. Take off all of the other lugs, brake the holy-stud, then repleace the stud and lug.

I would not recommend this job if you do not have the tools, you can really mess up the rims if you slip with the drill. The shops have this kit, that they put into the hole, and it centers the bit and holds it in place.

Gotta love those aftermarket lug nuts I've been there man. I was taking one off and it snapped part of the stud off with it.

You can hammer the stud out then hammer a new one right in... its not that hard. Just takes some strength

Any updates on the lug nut removal?

Hey man,

I unfortunately bought those same janky *** lugs and they suck. I nearly had the same problem but managed to get it loose with some channel locks.

The tuner lugs you have are cheap crap - just like the ones I got. I am presently looking to replace them with something of a lot higher quality.

Your stud is probably damaged but they are like $1 at Auto Zone or O'Reillys. Then you have to take your caliper off and put the new one on. If you don't have air tools - pay $20 and get it done for you.

sighh, I will just write this off as a project to do later. I will post the results when it's done. Probably in a month or 2 haha. Thanks for the help!

I'd say it's time to get in on the Group Buy for the McGard lugs and locks.

And by the way, do you use a torque wrench set at around 80lbs max to tighten your lugs?

Using an impact wrench or no torque wrench is a BIG no no to me.

Same thing happened to me 2 years ago. I had to drive the car on 4 lugs for 200 miles back home.

went to dealer following day and problem fixed.

Dealer did it for me GRATIS!!!!
