boostedgrocerygetter Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yea I was beginning to wonder if you were still out there drilling away and you took " take it slow" way too literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostedgrocerygetter Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 yea you weld it to the lug and it gives you somthing to bite onto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No DRFT Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 How do you get the tip of the welder in there? I have no control over drippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgrocerygetter Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 You really only need to put some good tack welds on there but that could be an issue depending on the wheel design and how much of the nut is actually left. Seeing as the op has not provided us with any pics all we can do is give him ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meier motor sports Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 i see two pictures from the op in the first post?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgrocerygetter Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Lol thanks seemed to have missed those. But yea that would not be an easy weld project I would still recommend drilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 You could get a socket you don't care about & JB Weld the old lug tip into it, then see if you can get the broken-off bit out using that as a tool. You could further JB Weld the lug tip/socket combo onto the broken lug threaded onto the stud, but then you might risk having the whole assembly glued on...

boostedgrocerygetter Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Have you ever actually used jb weld. Don't get me wrong it is good stuff but it's still just a glue it has no where near the holding power to deal with that kind of force. And if you were to use and impact gun. Jb weld doesn't hold well under vibration conditions. His best and maybe only chance to save the wheel is to drill the stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Uhh... yes. I've actually used JB Weld. If you were to JB Weld the broken-off end of the lug nut into a 17mm socket, it would not come out of the socket. If you doubt JB Weld, use something else. Weld it... it doesn't make any difference. It's the idea that matters. There's enough texture/shape on that broken lug nut that could give it enough to budge that installed broken piece without drilling... or maybe not. But you've lost nothing but a cheap socket in the meantime. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators BarManBean Posted June 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2012 I actually think the above video may work, but also a lot of damage could end up being done. That said, try something like this: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Emergency-Lug-Nut-Remover/dp/B0007N201M]Amazon.com: Emergency Lug Nut Remover: Automotive[/ame] Other companies make them too. They're kind of like an easy-out, except they grab form the outside instead of the inside. You sort of screw it onto the lug and the back it off, but since it is set up to not be able to unscrew it should take the lug nut off with it. If it works for you there will be zero damage to the wheel or the stud.

DeltaNu1142 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I've never seen one of those. I wonder if the OP has enough nut left to grab onto. Maybe a 16mm or smaller would work, although one of the reviewers on Amazon said something about the sizes not being clear. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBGuy Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 ive used jb weld on my 2001 civic when i cracked my oil tank saved me time and money. i also tried it on a metal that was welded but came off so i used jb weld but it would never stick. jb weld will for sure not work on this nut i dont think its strong enough and mentioned before its like metal glue. i havent been on because its not the weekend yet and i havent tired anything. i need my car to go to work. im waiting for the weekend so that if i do damage my stud i can replace it over the weekend too.

boostedgrocerygetter Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 The nut removers work great if you have the space for them. But usually on a wheel such as the op's there most likely won't be enough room the get it in over the nut. I'd drill it out replace the stud. Then make sure that next time around who ever installs your wheels doesn't over torque them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give up. Have you tried using a dry socket with the broken-off piece in there & trying to grip the remaining piece with it? With some force & all other lug nuts removed, and maybe even a buddy whacking at the wheel with a mallet, it may break free. Or you could just start drilling. That sounds fun too, with the added benefit of being destructive. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
