Lug nut stuck

Chiseling will only serve to beat up a chisel [and likely tear up your knuckles]

I agree that you need to replace the lug bolt.

Do you have a sawzall?
Or a cutting torch?

 

I think I might go ahead and break out the impact driver. I'd think about it this way:

• Maybe it succeeds and gets the nut off the stud. Then I can take the wheel off, and press the stud straight out in civilized fashion, and press in a new stud. Studs are cheap.
• Maybe it ends up spinning the stud in the hub. Then I'm going to want to replace the hub. Hubs aren't as cheap as studs, but they're not astronomical, and it's money I only have to pay in the unlikely event this happens, and it'll be a good story I can tell.

 

If you're beating on it you're going to push the wheel stud right out of the hub ring so if you can't get something a little bit behind it like a pry bar because it's not down all the way or you can beat on a socket that takes off lug nuts you don't have the keys to or the special socket for so it's digging into the metal and trying to rip it right out

 

What happened You can't just replace the wheel stud and pull it in I thought you could on me

 

If the hole the stud presses into got enlarged and isn't a press fit anymore....

Or if the hub just got banged on enough to make brinelling the bearing likely....

 

Usually what happens mistakenly is people smack on the lug nut with a hammer not realizing it splind and pressed in or pushed in to the hub face the circular part where the lug pattern is That's what I've noticed people do they smack on it they unsat it and then they Wonder why everything's spinning out of control they can't get anything behind it to get on it lol now you're screwed I torched a wheel one time of course the wheel was already damaged so it was not a problem but this exact same thing I hit it with my fine tip torch and turned it red hot to liquid and pushed it right through and it dropped onto the inside of the wheel width and then onto the ground still red hot The wheel was a little damaged but it was already very damaged and needed changing so this was the least of the problem after that happened and the rest of the lug nuts were removed with the DeWalt gun properly and the wheel sitting down so I can sit on it I literally took another lug nut from another Prius and smacked it through the hole brought it over with a few washers put it on the hole that I just blew the snot out of when it was red hot offered it up to the spline hole which is still there I didn't hit the hole I just melted the wheel stud which is already out of the spleen hole remember and I just took my pry bar and tap that with the end of my hammer and watched lug nut from the other car go right up into the business and then I tried it with my fingers the nut that is and then a wrench notice that it wasn't slipping and acting foolish and then I actually put the wheel back onto the correct tightness and my '09 has been like that until a year or so ago when I put new hubs in front with all new wheel studs and everything they come that way. I do realize if you wallow out the spleened hole you have a problem but usually that's hard to do when the wheels on You don't have access to do that You can punch the wheel stud straight back with the stuck lug nut on it and then it's just going to spin because you'll almost never get it back on the splines with the wheel on I've seen people loosen all the other lug nuts and try to use the wheel to pull just doesn't work My pin torch blew it right off if it would have been a style steel wheel instead of a aluminum job it would have been fine The aluminum even from the fine pin torch and it just touching around the edge of the hole made the wheel real ugly didn't disform it though.
