Who can remove a recessed lug nut without damaging my rim????????
Hey guys, i don't have a pic of the particular lug in question because it looks just like the rest, except about 1/4" of the stud isn't inside the lug vs flush with the end of it if it were fully seated.
My best guess is it will need someone who has experience in freezing something and then busting it because a torch is only going to make problems worse and far more expensive!!
LMK if you know anyone who may have this capability please. Perhaps the name & # of a shop that specializes in chasing out broken bolts and whatnot.
Thanks a bunch!!!

I think i may have found the solution myself and for CHEAP!!!!
2 tutorials below, 1 with video, showing how to simply turn a computer dusting can upside down and freeze the object before whacking it with a hammer, or in my case, a hammer and chisel for accuracy!
It's definitely worth a shot for the price of a couple cans of this stuff! LOL

Is the stud and the lug just spinning? Is there any space between the end of the nut and the rim? I had a problem like that with my prostars, but the was a gap between the nut and rim. I used my dremel tool with a small cutting disk and cut the head off and pulled the rim right off. No damage and just put a new rotor on it. Was on my 92 mustang.

Forgot to get back to this but i ended up snapping the stud and never touched the rim!! **** yea!! LOL However i will eventually need a shop to fill the stripped aluminum hub thread and drill and tap it. But for now it's just a simple matter of tightening the 1 lug while holding the stud from the other side. It sucks but could've been so much worse!!
Thanks again for all the ideas guys!!
