Thread: Need help- Lug stem is stripped

Just start drilling the stud from the front---when you get up to 1/2 inch it will fall off as you get thru the nut---then drive out the remainder

this will work good to alot of the cheaper lug nut have thin caps on them step drill it out big has you can up 1/2 and use a big dirft puch and hit the head of the stud and see if you can drive it back if not keep drilling it till you can hit it thru punch the lug nut first buy some good drill bits i would used a carbide ball mill after drilling a pilot hole thru the lug nut 3/16 or so if a nice rim tape off so you cut down on clean up and you do not scratch up the rim from chips off the drill
