Hey guys figured it had to happen to somebody else on here,my damn wheel stud on my shitty dana 30 wiggled out of the hub with the lug on it so now my damn front rim is stuck on. It has enough play and pull to it that i can put vice grips on it or take a grinder and cut it. Just dont wanna mess my rim up. Whats my best bet with this bullshit?

Have access to a welder? Borrow a slide hammer from auto zone or a friend and find/buy a nut that threads onto the end. Grind some chrome off your lug nut and weld the new nut to the top. Tread in the slide hammer and use it to reseat the stud.
