Lug Nut
I can't get one lug nut off the rear wheel The nut just spins I believe the knurls are gone on the stud allowing it to spin.
Maybe a cut off wheel to cut the nut and split it. ????
I have new studs and lug nuts .

oh man. I had a real fun time just doing one of my rear studs, but the lug nuts all came off and obviously the wheel. good luck to you
I'm wondering about being able to break off, hammer and a punch/chisel???

Taking the stud off is the easy part.............since you probably have the hole in the spindle hogged out.......you'll have to either weld the new stud in perfectly perpendicular or redrill all five holes a few degrees off or buy a new spindle. Cheapest is buy a new spindle. I spent about $100 to have the five holes machined in between the existing holes...only because I knew a competent machinist.

If I need to get a new spindle can I reuse the old bearings or will they need to be set to new specs . Arggggggggggggg.
I need to stress the importance of checking your lug nuts for tightness I learned the hard way to do this...
