spinning wheel stud

[im_piston_broke]

Righto boys...ANY help will be appreciated...
went to swap wheels when I couldn't get a wheel nut off..im guessing its frozen to the stud and the whole nut and stud are spinning....it looks like its been a problem to the previous owner as the wheel stud has ben whacked with a cold chisel or centre punch....whats the best option here???...
Cheers

haven't had that problem before but the only way I can see is to split/cut wheel nut, drilling out stud will take awhile because its hardened but will be only option if you have alloys on, no room to split nut. good luck mate

I ended up just snapping the stud...will buy a complete new set..the previous owner had the same prob on the rear and replaced with wrong studs..result= 2 different thread wheel nuts .....D'oh

cool that the other way at least its off now you might need a new hub there is a spline for the stud to lock on to stop whole thing turning if you put new stud in you will end up with the same problem again
