a stuck lugnut
I have chiseled,beat and now burned the lug nut and stud to where it is flat with the hole,what can I do now?
Is there a drill bit that is strong enough to get thru this stud? it acts like it is made of diamond,I have hit on the stud so much I blew out the u-joint well loosened it really bad, so i have to replace it and i have split a piece of black iron pipe trying to break the stud.
I just want to replace the brakes , and now u-joint and left tie rod and most likely ball joints

I stripped out a wheel stud on my trans am with the lugnut still on it. Only way I could figure out to get the wheel off was to pull the axle and grind off the stud then put a new one in. Is the wheel still on? A sawzall will get through it but it will eat up the blade real quick. Angle grinder with cutting wheel is much faster.

The make sockets specifically for this purpose. They have "teeth" in them that grip tighter, the more pressure you put on them. See if you can find some nearby.....
Before you start trying to use it though, put the lugnuts on either side of the stuck one back on, and tighten them up. (relieves pressure on the want you want to get off.)

Did a break job similar to what you are doing.
Snapped a couple of lugs, what I did was just hammer the stud out and then used a impact wrench, an open ended lug nut and 6-8 washers and a new stuck to pull it back. Otherwise I would take it someplace with a shop press to put it back in.
Or are you saying that the stud is stuck in the rotor?
You have to pull the wheel, pull the rotor and work it.
If it's just the one, you can run with 4 lugs for a bit till you get it to a shop.
After you do the job, if you keep having your lugs tighten up on you and have issues, you either need a new rotor and a new rim since one or the other is causing wobbling and tighting the nuts.
