lug nut removal
I want to help a friend remove a lug nut on a rear wheel where the swedging was not done correctly and, thus, the stud spins and the lug nut will not loosen. What has worked for anyone else in this situation? I don't want to use a cutting torch and I can't get a grinder in between the spokes. I'm thinking that maybe drilling some holes in the lug nut and then splitting the nut with a cold chisel might work. Or possibly an osscilating tool with a hack saw blade on it to cut the nut (and stud) down the middle. Thoughts and recommendations, please.
