Lug nut with stripped threads I was attempting to remove the wheels (Billet Specialties Street Lights) and apparently the lug nut is stripped as it just spins. This is not a rounded off lug nut. And I bought it this way, this is the first time I have tried to remove the wheels.
So the best/safest way to remove it is to drill it out? I do not want to damage the wheel. I have read a few threads here about freezing it, maybe place a deep well socket over it and whack a chisel through the opening?
The good news is this is not a daily driver!
Thanks,
John
