I just bought my car a few weeks ago, and I got the new clutch put in, changed oil, Changed trans fluid, next is brake fulid, and the brakes themselves. However here is where I run into my problem. I had my mechanic fix the clutch and he went to remove the drivers side front wheel and the key for the mcgard lock broke. I have the lock number in order to get new keys, but I have an even bigger problem. In the process to trying to reove the wheel with an air chisel, not only did he tear up the rim, ut the locking lug nut broke, and the wheel still won't come off. Other than drilling it out, is there another way to get the rest of the roken lug nut off, without having to replace the lug bolt? '

Thanks in advance for al your help.

Well, Great news, I got that stupid locking lug nut off, however the lug stud is shot. Now I must remove that in order to replace it. Any ideas how to get it out?
