So i was in my garage today, about to rotate my wheels, when i noticed that while taking my lugs off, i look down to see that somehow previously, the Locking security lug had its head broken off. (The lug that you use a special key to fit it to remove). I have no idea how to get this thing off now. Any suggestions? Thanks

technically, yes, you are screwed.

now, you can cut that. is that a nut or a bolt?a nut can be cut in half and the bolt can be perforated...

now, i remember that in my country the thiefs didnt bother with tools to remove that.... they just removed the other bolts, raised the car and let the car go down. security bolt breaks, and your tire and rim were gone....

Please supply pictures, I have some ideas, front or rear wheel?

Any auto parts stores carry a wheel lug removed designed to pull locking studs. They slip over and grab the smooth nut. This is why I don't bother with them.

pound an old socket on it, then breaker bar or 1/2 ratchet.

take it to a tire shop, they will charge you like 5-10 bucks and they have the right tool to take it off.

yep thats what I do... and a 4ft piece of pipe... I wiggle it back and forth about 3-4 times and snap the lug right off...then just replace the stud... unless it turns off after a slight wiggle...

Let the tire shop guy have a quick go at it.

Tack weld an old socket on it and remove...worked for me.
