Sheared Off Locking Lug Nut - Help
69 912 Targa with Fuchs Wheels:
Trying to remove a wheel and the locking lug nut breaks off. Haven't figured out how to remove the sheared off portion yet, probably have to carefull drill out the nut piece by piece and try a chisel and hammer too. Been soaking it in wd-40 all day. Does anyone have an extra locking lug nut like this that I can buy?? Can't find them anywhere. Thanks Ron

Problem solved
It took me two nights of drilling, chilsleing and grinding with a pneumatic rotary tool and carbide tips but I finally got the wheel off today. What a relief! Wheel is in good shape the lug threads had to be chased, thay are 14Mx1.5.
Hope this dosen't happen to anybody else. I should have been a Dentist! Ron
