P1000 Stripped wheel stud

[Buggyman]

I call BS on that guy, he's an idiot, find a different tire shop. I've never had a lug nut fall off and have always been able to change a tire on the side of the road.

agree

I’m going to see if I can get it welded to the hub. Went with 15” wheels w/ 4+3 offset and it looks like a welding rod would slip past the rotor and be able to put down a nice spot weld or three.

So you've determined that the stud is spinning, not that the nut is stripped out, right? Otherwise, I'm confused...

op did state he can feel stud spinning in hub......

I take it the lug nut is galled on the threads and then the stud started spinning

The stud is spinning in the hub.

No idea. I start them by hand, run them up with a low torque, electric ratchet, and torque them with a 1/2” torque wrench.

Not sure what happened.

Not near my machine right now to check but are the lug nuts solid steel then chromed or is the chrome just a sleeve/cover like the old automotive used to be. If a cover I would dremel cut it and get it off then you would have access to nut and stud. If solid steel then I like NorthernJoe's drill idea. I would start with the largest drill bit that would fit thru the socket to just give you a centering bevel on the nut. Then pull the socket and start the process of drilling small holes to large as NJ says.

Is the wheel still captured on the hub yet? Or you able to get lug nut removed ?

Haven’t tried to get it fixed yet. Have to order a hub and line up a welder.

 

[DRZRon1]

Finally got to seeing if a welder would work. The guy was able to hit it with a stick welder well enough that we were able to break the stud off at the hub.

Took all of 5 minutes.

Paint got a little buggered up, but at least the wheel can be removed now.

If i where you since you got it off i would change nuts or something.If you cant get it off a home you dont have a chance in the woods. Remember what happens in the woods stays in the woods.

I have a new hub and studs on the way.

Anti-seize will be your friend. A little bIt goes a long way but I would do all 4 lug studs on all 4 wheels.

While "changing nuts" sounds painful, getting it off in the woods sounds interesting.
