So i got a wheel lock that broke and we tried cutting it off,grinding, and drilling it off.....this is from a parts car so If I damage the thread I dont really care.......we just need to find a way to take it off, does anyone know how?

I just need to take off this wheel without damaging it!!!

Keep grinding you're almost there. You need to remove the beveled part of the lugnut.

Get a new pilot point drill bit just shy of the diameter of the stud and drill down the middle. Once you get far enough, the rest will just bend and cave in.
