Stripped stud with lug still attached

[Sandman]

I found a broken stud this morning and already got all new studs BUT I have another stud that is stripped and the lug won't come off. The lug backed out to a point fine but now won't come off and you can't tighten it back down. I'm at a loss here, how can I get this thing off without ****ing up the rim? All the other lugs came off fine to. Tried pulling/wiggling it off with vice grips since the thing is really but got nothing.

put some heat to it

Have access to NOS? Spray some on and knock it. =D

That or a VERY large breaker bar. Perhaps a pneumatic impact drill.

Stripped as in just spinning on the stud right? If so hit it with a hammer to back the stud out a bit then cut the the back of the stud off and push it out the front. Heat will not fixed ****ed up threads. Neither will an impact.

You can't cut the back of the stud off if the wheel is still on the car. :th_king-evil:

Finally got it off with the help of my dad. With him basically pulling on the wheel and me backing the lug off it finally came off. Really there were no threads on the stud at all.
