it sounds like you need a new lug nut stud and new lug nut

haha, they arent too bad in replacing, just knock the old one out with a hammer and put the new one in place and the easiest way to put it on is to stick like a nut on there bigger than the threads on the stud but not too big and run the new lug nut on there with a 1/2" impact and it will draw the lug nut stud tight in the hub, just dont tighten it too much or you will need another stud and lug nut lol. just make sure the stud is in there all the way.

very possible, torque sticks and a 1/2" impact are ideal for rotating tires
