Default Lug Nut Problem

2008 GS350 RWD

I was turning the lug lut with an impact wrench from the beginning, and the thread broke from the inside.

The lug lut is neither in nor out. It just hanging.

Is there any way to get this out?

Only one nut on the rear wheel side.

if the other lug nuts are on ok, you'll need to go to a shop probably for them to remove the whole stud which is probably stripped.
best of luck.

See if you can see the backside of the stud inside the hub. Maybe you can put a pliers and hold it from spinning or maybe tap it in to lock back in place.

If that doesnt work, then get a center punch and dent a holes directly in the center of the lug and the smallest drill bit then bigger, to drill out the lug. Do not go to a thicker drill bit then the size of the stud
