HELP?
i am trying to take off a set of enkie mesh rims, before my dad sell his car (s12). the problem is one of the stud is stripped.
i was wondering wat options do i have when the studs its self is stripped inside the axle. when i turn the lugnut to the left,it js keeps on spining. i know its not stripped where the nut is screw into the stud cause it would of broke by now. so how do i get it off with out messing up the wheel??? i can careless for the car!

Use an impact gun.

Is his a black auto hatch?

Impact gun, and pry the wheel away from the hub hard so that is pulls tension on the lug in the hub.

I forget if the front is accessable on the s12, but you might be able to swing it by a muffler shop and weld the back of the lug to the hub.

Happened on my first s13. I tugged the crap out of the wheel and it eventually broke free. Not fun

i forgot to mention.. its on the left rear.
i dont think an impact gun would do.. its too loose. but ill try it out.. if that doesnt work. got any other IDEAS?

the S12 is 5spd. blue. hatchback.
