suggestions?

[AWDMadness]

3 of my 5 front driver studs spins with the lug nut attached to it, meaning the teeth of the spline on the back is stripped, what can I do? we already tried spot welding the back of the stud and it always breaks off, only thing we thought of is drilling the fucker perhaps??

any ideas? I hate that I was finally getting my bitch on the road and something like this happens :(

so I've heard...I never had this problem in the 4-5 yrs I've owned it :(

i hate to say it the dealer will get them off but they will most likely screw your wheels up and they wont pay to fix them

[frank]

I came up with a plan but its gonna suck, unbolt the entire hub assembly and take it off the car then cut the back of the studs off.

what about some sort of electric chisel with a thin tip?...(if there is such a thing, not sure) and chisel it from the back, there is some space back there where you can see it.

fuck thats alot of work.you could always drill the studs then crack them

trade cars with victor for a month

[frank]

Well since you can see the studs from the back at one point try cutting off the head its the only other thing I can think of that has no possibility of damaging the wheel.

I doubt a cutting disc will fit though, is there some sort of electric chisel perhaps?

what did you exactly torched? the back of the stud or the front?

[ISMELLRICE]

hit straight into the hole of the lug...of course we had to replace the lug but that was only like $2 from a.a.p. but that bitch came right out...we were fuckin wit the air chisel for 20 mins lol

He has closed capped lug nuts so hes going to have to drill them.

[AWDMadness]

1 is already drilled open, wasn't hard at all...so a torch would work? What would happen if I put a blow torch directly at the stud, the lug nut would soften/warp and easily take out?

[frank]

Eric just drill out the stud make it hollow and then break it. Torch + Your Rims = Don't even want to go there.

[AWDMadness]

kk, the lug nut is already half way taken out, its only like maybe an inch to drill too :p

[frank]

You don't even have to drill all the way through the stud just far enough so that it is past the lug nut so it will break off.

[ISMELLRICE]

yeah mine were closed caps too...once you start hammering at it, the cap will come off...we kept going at it with the air chisel but it wouldnt go any further than that...
i had no other choice lol so i told him to do the torch...took 1 quick it and the lug melted and the nut came out...solved the problem lol


good luck though

[Anthony]

me and frank are on the same page now.i showed him a picture of a evo hub with a cutaway lol.

eric whenever you want to fix it just drill it out and stock dicking around.a hour or so of work and itll be done

your wheels will get owned my a torch unless you clay it
