Re: How do you remove a stripped out lug nut

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

I am assuming the lug nut turns but does not thread off. Short of 
trying to grind it off or split it get a vise-grip or an undersize 
socket on it and as you turn it stick a screwdriver or something sharp 
behind the lug, or try pulling on the rim after removing all of the 
other lug nuts, and with constant pressure and slowly turning the lug 
nut it should thread off. After getting the wheel off inspect ALL of 
the studs and lug nuts. Slivers of metal mean threads are worn. This 
happens from using too aggressive an air tool or overtorquing the 
lugs. Clean all of the threads being careful nut to get the slivers in 
your fingers. Retorque to spec in sequence.
