spray some lube. use dremel to create contact points for socket....or even drill it out (just enough to weaken it then replace it with a new stud). maybe get a bolt remover from local store. I was unlucky and had to destroy my wheel. GL to you. There is always a way.

 

this happen to me. Go buy a set of Craftsmen srripe bolt extractors(think thats what theyre call) they saved me more than once with striped bolts. pays for itself in time cuz u save the pain of removing bad bolts/nuts

 

That should work, but if you have one of those neo chro r40... it's very tough to get out. I broke my 2nd one today, I'm going to have to drill out the bolt.

 

thats a bummer!!

 

If you know a welder have him "weld" a nut onto it. Let it cool, hit it with some kroil and back that **** off.

"No wire" use an LH s.m.a.w. procedure. It should fix you right up.

 

You'll have to weld a nut onto the locknut and then unscrew it.

 

I torque my McGuard lugs to 100 pound/foot twice a year when I swap my snows on my Pontiac. Been doing it for eight years without a problem. They should handle 80# easily.

 

shop tricks of the trade, old technique that still works, i use this all the time at lexus. proven to be a very good method, would recommend it!

 

get this tool. lug nut extractor. i think a local sears should carry them, but i got mines from snap-on




since your in the 808 buy me those ikaika warrior head souvenirs. i will pay for your time.

 

this is definitely good stuff. Thanks for the info.

 

Didn't have the luxury to take car anywhere, so the 3/4" 12 point socket did the trick! Hammer the socket in good, careful not too much to crack it.
Had bad threads and torque needed to remove was very high. Despite this the grab with this method was excellent!

It was hard to get Chisel in place as nut was buried in rim (06, GS300).

Welding? a little crude.

Taking it to a shop- Best idea. Special tools mentioned- great!. Thanks for the posts, the socket idea SAVED MY A$$.

Awesome! Glad you got it off. I've always feared this happening but there's no way that should have broken at 80#, i would check your torque wrench like someone else said
