First try tightening the lug nut again, and possibly pull the stud through back to where it's supposed to be. Just for a temp fix at least.

If not, cut it off with a die grinder or something and install a new stud.

cant do either, if i try to tighten it the stud spins also...i cant get access to it to cut it, if anything ill have to break the nut thru the wheel with something

You're going to have to cut the lug off or get an impact and tighten down the lug and it should pull the stud back in.

might need to zip it with an impact....it should turn the lug faster than the stud can turn...

"It works 80% of the time, all the time."
"That doesn't make any sense."
