How to remove stripped lug?
Was trying to remove the rear wheel off of my del sol and one of the lug nuts was pretty tough to come off, half way off it just started spinning freely, I looked and its not spinning the stud, thats staying in place but the threads just must be so chewed up that the lug nut is just stuck in the middle of the threads just turning over
any ideas on what to do to remove it?

chances are they'll end up fucking your wheel up, just not as bad as you will.

get a strong impact and tighten it back down to break the lug stud. thats all i could think of.

Pull the wheel twards you. and zip it of with a impact gun. Gotta have tension on the lug nut. Worked for me when I was a wheel and tire tech.
