the emergency nut remover will not damage your wheel if you use it properly. Use an impact gun'

I had to drill out 2 studs on a previous car, pain in the a**
If I were to drill out my stud, can you give me a link on which drill bits to buy? I'm not sure which ones will be strong enough to drill through a stud.
How long did it take you?
Also, any tips you can give me before I drill out my stud would be great!

The wd40 is probably making everything slip. I would stop using that.

Did you try the smaller socket method?

that gator grip will not work.. the socket is not big enough but IRWIN makes a product for your exact situation that you can find at home depot.. it is basically teeth that grip the bolt and as you turn to loosen the bolt the teeth grip tighter.. i used it to take off the rim locks that i lost the key for.. it should work
