dude, the heads are already out. Just pull the fucking wheel

Wheel's on the ground lmao

One step away from a fresh lock nut due for a slap.
--- 2594279
only nigger brain would consider using an axe to remove a tire
--- 2594288
At this stage? Just keep grinding down the wheel until there's nothing left and go buy a new one.

At least she knows the wheel can be replaced.
I don't drive but I know enough to tell she probably doesn't know how to tighten the nuts in the proper order - across from each other.

You mean every other one

I'd just blow out the stud with my cutting torch if someone else perpetrated the fuckup. A small heating tip can also cut and may be superior for some jobs.

Idiots do shit "their way" because they're too stupid to study the right way(s). Everything mechanical is a fucking solved problem often solved over a century ago.
--- 2594688
>>2594153 (OP)
It's quite simple actually.
You need an oxy-acetylene torch.
you have to remove everything from the car.
and then access the back of the stud cut it off and use an air hammer to push it out.
I've done FWD cars that you can pull the caliper back far enough and cut the baseof the stud off too.

>>2594688
i assume you guys have welders. why wouldn't you just weld a new nut on top of the rounded off one and unscrew that?
--- 2594707
>>2594688
you ever tried a socket?
--- 2594709
>>2594692
My solution too. Even a bolt or something. Tack it on, twist it off.
--- 2594783
Hammer socket on and impact off. Use one of those rounded off nut extractor sockets with the teeth that bite in as you remove it. Little heat from a torch would help too, but probably not necessary. Can't fuck the wheel up any worse really so go all out!
--- 2594865
>>2594153 (OP)
Keep trying with the axe, you'll get it eventually
--- 2594928
>>2594707
Oh why didn't I think of that while I was removing an entire assembly from that car.
--- 2594993
>>2594692
Its chrome plated
--- 2595061
>>2594153 (OP)
Just use your teeth, duh.
--- 2595070
>>2594993
So turn up the welder and blow through it.
--- 2595072
>>2594306
no, I think the correct thing to do is tighten oppossite from each other.
--- 2595156
>>2595072
yeah, maybe it's a joke though because "every other bolt" is what the result would be with a 5-bolt system
but if you have stuff like big trucks that have like 30 bolts per wheel, then I'd assume going around bit by bit instead of opposide sides is maybe needed to avoid the wheel being crooked or the bolts somehow catching and just puttibg the clamping into some kind of bend rather than into binding the face of the wheel to the axle

>wheel on the ground, car not raised
You're supposed to break lugs free with the tire on the ground unless you're using an impact.
--- 2595158
>>2594688
That's fucking retarded holy shit
--- 2595356
>>2595158
You're right.
Customers love when you damage their rim and then make you pay for it.
Retarded. You certainly are.

Because that's a bigger asspain it would be much faster to wash the nut and stud out of the wheel, pull the wheel then knock out the old stud and replace. My time is worth a few bucks for a stud and I'd have to replace the nut anyway. 

If the thing wasn't at my shop the torch is an even better deal than the extra work dragging my welder and other stuff vs. grabbing a torch and my small cylinders. (I keep small oxygen cylinders down to medical size to run torches for quick mobile work and transfill those from my full size cylinders with a simple whip-tee-regulator setup which is common.) 

Being a five lug wheel I could flush the nut/stud then mount the spare to drive the car anywhere desired to finish the job. The severed fifth stud would not be an issue for short range travel.

I've done similar often with other hardware and it's easy after some practice to wash the nut off a decent sized stud or bolt without fucking the threads. Torches large and small are great fun. I collect and overhaul them to factory specs (easy, it's plumbing) along with regulators for myself too. 

If ya get a torch spend some time practicing on scrap because that's key to getting good. Torch welding works nicely too as does brazing which is tough and shock-resistant. Torch bending heavy stock is easy to do with precise control.

I buy used older US-made quality torches (Oxweld/Purox/Linde/L-tec are my favorites but I've plenty of Victors, Smiths and others) but a good hobby outfit new is the Smith Toughcut (throw away the googles and buy a shade 5 face shield, Jackson make good ones). I'd get one for acetylene then use LP tips when I wanted to cut with propane. They survived student abuse when I ran a welding school toolroom. A good torch is a more than lifetime tool.

Typo, should be:

also, looks more like a rim, so add another one

what does this mean? I've dealt with a lot of stuck fasteners but it was all <1/4" stuff.

Hammer on a one-size-too-small external torx nut. It will carve away the excess material and bite into the nut.
--- 2596008
>>2594153 (OP)
Drill one of these reverse threaded cone things into the bolt and use a long wrench
--- 2596016
>>2594928
refer to 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstellung_effect

use pliers to clear out the crap and debris around the lug, then see if a socket can even fit on the fucked up lug nut, if not drill through the centre and remove both the damaged stud and lug nut, studs on most cars are easy to replace anyways.

When you wash something with a torch you effectively cut that thing off another piece of steel underneath it without fucking up the steel underneath. You can cut nuts off of bolts without messing up the bolt threads or cut bearings off of shafts without marring up the shaft. 

You do this by heating the outer steel up and "washing" it off in thin layers until you see it blow through to what is underneath.

--- 2598504

how would drilling a hole in a stud would help in that case?
you know how nuts and studs work, right?
--- 2598507

--- 2598525
>>2594153 (OP)
so easy , find a socket bigger than the stud but not bigger than the nut , weld the socket to the face of the nut - allow to cool then remove nut with a socket wrench , easy fast and no damage to the wheel ,

I do this when replacing fire hydrants down at the boot, I burn the bolts out of the flange without damaging the flange, has something to do with one of the laws of thermodynamics or something.

Often, you have to take the hub off to reach the studs, and on an old junker, it could have seized through bolts.

>car raised
Yes, that’s the correct way to break lug nuts free with hand tools
>wheel cover
That’s an aluminum rim
>hurr durr their using a chisel!
They’re sliding the chisel to break some of the aluminum off of the rim to access the lug nut. They’re holding it with pliers so they don’t bust up their buckles. You can buy a chisel/punch holder but most people don’t bother.

i did this to AAA once apparently. i called back the AAA hotline and told them to cancel it because i got roadside assistance from state highway patrol, they said they would. i get home and i have 7 angry voicemails from the tow truck driver

Visegrips work well but I just weld scrap round or rebar at various angles to my chisels so I can get savage with a hand sledge in salvage yards or nipping frame rivets.
