Default Broken lug or stud

One of my lug nuts came half way off, popped, and now just spins. How do I get the wheel off without damaging the rim, or where is the best place to take it to have it removed without damaging the rim?

also when you take your hub cap off is the hole big enough to fit a socket onto the spindle nut? if not i can still do it.

Well, you could take a 1/2" drill bit and drill through it, releasing the nut... That's all I can think of.

I have 17" FN01R-C
I don't have any spare studs, but I can see about picking some up at the Nissan dealership tomorrow. Unless someone knows a better place to get them?

just get one from the dealership.

ive built a little contraption for this very problem.

since they are 17s it will make things a lot easier esp if im able to get the spindle nut off.

whoring away, i say i do...

Or you can pick one up at Discount/Napa for $2 bucks or so with or without lug nut.

Buck19,
I tried sending you a PM, but your box is full.

Do you have any time this weekend or next week you can help me get my rim off and replace the stud?

Thanks,
Lincoln
