Broken off lug nut

[paulysplitx]

I’d stick a drill bit in between the stud and nut, keep working it until the nut was “cut” and a slot was created. Then stick a flat head screw driver in there and get it off.

What torque where you torquing them to? Why was it bound to happen?

ummmmm…

why?

Just doing it by hand with a tire iron. Your idea may be the one i go with.
