So this happened...

[AJH]

Ain't it time to mount the winter wheels anyways? If you moved down here you'd only have to own one set.:hug:

 

[CentolaCCSB]

Hahaha it's not quite that time yet but it's coming! Unfortunately

 

[CentolaCCSB]

So of course with my luck this happened



As if things couldn't get any worse

Can't tell what happened? Break the stud?

 

[JoshH]

Looks like it broke off the end of the lug nut. Is the splined part not long enough to still get some engagement with the tool?

 

[WVRigrat05]

I seen it after I posted, that blows. Worse comes to worse, pull the brake bolts, axle and pull the whole hub off and grind the back side of the stud off.

Can you get a small die grinder in there and make the grooves longer to get you tool on it?

Thats my worst case scenario plan, i managed to pound on a 19mm socket. Figures it was the last lug nut to take off and that happened. Also broke the spline socket aswell

Going away for the weekend in a few hours and i need a bigger air gun to brap it off so its on hold till sunday

 

[CentolaCCSB]

Anyone recommend a quality set of the spline lug nuts for when the wheels go back on? Dont want this to happen again

I just have regular lug nuts and a gorilla lock nut on each wheel.

I have gorillas, but alway use anti seize too. To tell you the truth after seeing this I have though of putting the stock ones back on.

Yeah definitely a nightmare and i havent had time yet to try and get the broke one off. Ill give it a shot around 7. Im not even sure if stock lug nuts will fit

Don't use stock lug nuts. They use a different taper and doubt they will fit in there.

Get a set of 19mm ones, they should fit just fine. 21mm might be tight unless you use a thin wall socket

Alright, any place in mind u would trust to use?

 

[Chevy1925]

Discount tire usually has a large selection of lugs.

 

[CentolaCCSB]

Thank you sir

After an hour of fighting finally got the lug nut off... Things cooked


Throwing the rest in the trash

I have no idea what brand they were, when i bought them from a shop buy my house they had some that i needed in stock. Im sure it was so cheapo brand obviously

 

[Awenta]

I did mean standard lug nuts definitely not the stock ones. I've got 19mm and they hold up fine.
