Similar situation to yours. He suggests cutting off the entire wheel

In all seriousness, I hope you can get it off. The last page of the above thread had a suggestion that may help. Weld a washer onto the nut, and then weld a nut on the washer.


I just knew someone would bring up the sawzall option!

Flip flopping one wether to try to get it off myself to take it to the tire shop and see if they can get it off (at the very least I will need a new lug nut),

The head of the nut is still good and I can get a good grab on it with a lug wrench.

I wonder if I jack the car up and loosen the other lug-nuts that will give me some more wiggle room? Also not sure where to source a new stud, I suppose a Mazda dealership is an option.

I don't have a welder nor am I a welder, but at this point I don't need to go to that extreme.

And before you ask... I do have a sawzall
