Been struggling since thursday evening with this shit. I have a junk rim stuck on my car by one single lug on a stud that stripped itself from the hub and turns freely. I have tried so much shit to remove this wheel, but I'm fucking stuck and frustrated.
My tools are limited. Help me out here masterminds.
Oh, and I'd post a pic but all it looks like is a shitty rim on a crappy car held by a rogue stud and lug.

If you don't care about the rim or the stud have someone torch it off. It would take me less than ten minutes.

You can try and drill out the lug nut and stud. drill center till it gets weak and chissel and hammer will finish it off. Time consuming, but it works.
I have done this in the past.
