You mean how i get the lugnut break in there like that? I was just tightening the nut with my hands. i didnt even kick it or anything. must've been the rust so it got weakened

sorry, i didn't get your PM. resend?

 

So last night, i took my car to R&J in Carson. After 2 hours of chiseling, Ralph (the mechanic) FINALLY got the broken lug nut off!! Every other shop I went to wasn't able to do it. But he did it! The price was also unbeatable. The failed shops were charging me $200. Ralph charged me $120.

Yea, just letting you guys know whats up. After 7 months of unable to remove the wheel.

 

Pollo can now carve out freakin statutes after all the chiseling he had to do on that Lugnut.

 

LOL^

daym, must of been some chit!!,... glad you got it off though...

 

R&J does it again!!!

 

haha wow. I ran into this a little late. i had to do this on my g last weekend. Same exact problem... my friend used an impact to tighten my lug and it would not come off. Ended up just taking a chisel to it for awhile along with a drill. Rim got pretty beat up, and so did the chisel, but at least i got my rim off. Glad you were able to fix this horrible problem, one of the worst things i have had to fix...so much hammering

 

The problem R&J had was because OP had already tried to chisel it out..so there was only a small area that was impeding the process.

 

You could try and take it some where like a tire shop where they can put it on a lift and cut it off from the other side of the hub. You would have to get a new stud, but you probably need that now anyways.

 

That's exactly what happened to me. First started chiseling to get to the stud, then drilled, then I just kept hitting the stud with the chisel until it broke all the way through. took about an hour and a half. those nuts are not made to shatter at all, the metal just folds over itself.
