when I got a flat tire last year I couldn't find my wheel lock key anywhere, stranded on the side of the road I found a socket that just barely fit and hammered that b*tch on and used a breaker bar to take it off. I've also used the snap on bolt extractor which works really well

after getting the rim off. i used one of the factory lug nuts to pull the broken stud forward. when i go to turn the wheel forward it doesn't scrap going backwards is a whole mess like metal on metal. nothing is bent but trying to break the caliber bolts loose after soaking in pb blaster aint going no where even with a impact gun.

it doesn't seem to be hitting anywhere so what else could be causing the rubbing noise ?

did you seat the new stud in all the way? it takes a lot of torque, more then my air impact could chew
