The nut is still on the thread thingy and it broke off, so the remainder of the thread thingy is still in the nut. How ever, i can take off the wheel...
Lug nut broke off the hub!!!
- Thread starter PROJECT N00b
- Start date
So did the threads strip, or did the splines on the knurl of the stud strip inside the hub?
I'm thinking the latter?

btw, little tip is to throw the new stud in the freezer for about an hour or two before actualy attepting to put it in.

So if i put it in there and then try to get the thread out it should come out?
I don't think you're fully understanding...is there still a piece of the stud left in the hub?
And forget about the nut, just get a new one.

He said put the new STUD (see bolt, lug, long metal thingy with threads on the OUTSIDE) in the freezer, not the lug nut.
Yes!!!! there is still a piece of it in there...thats why i said it broke off and thats why i was asking if i can still get that piece out.
ehh if your really cheap and dont wanna go get a new nut, i use a small drill bit and drill it in the stud and then i reverse it and it should come right off. unless you torqued it at like 50pounds or something. i dont know if ill have time to help you. i have to start the roll paint job with my friend. we are seriously slacking off. i want to get it done in a week and a half. oh btw you still on for hooters??
