Got a call from a taxi driver who needed to get the front wheel of a 56 Vectra.
Had sheared the pins off the key and they were stuck in the locking wheel stud. So took it
to Kwik Shit. They hammered a socket on and that stripped and got stuck. No amount
of levering could shift it and it just span on the ring round the stud.
By the time I got htere the area round the stud was pretty battered so I tried welding
a bar to the remains, that also snapped off.
Lost for ideas on a Sunday afternoon with the guy wanting to get back to work I
resorted to cutting the wheel in half with the angry grinder.
So, yes, I can believe the post subject.

With this one, if he had just snapped all the studs wouldnt he have been able to to pull the wheel off? Or are the studs tapered all the way down the
shank?

I had a stripped ally wheel nut a while ago, and ended up using a slightly smaller socket hammered on to get it off. Worked like a charm. Not to say
it wasn't a bit frustrating at first, so not hard to believe. The fact that it's posted leads you to believe it probably is a wind up
though.

What makes it a fail is that the stud was already lose apparently! LMFAO

Good thing is that we all learn from his mistake and think twice before replacing wheel nuts/bolts.
Dirt on threads, especially alloy or dissimilar metals leading to galvanic corrosion may have this effect.
I am going to need "Tuning" nuts , the space between the wheel and the nuts is very small, I hope I never need to resort to this level of
"persuasion"
Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....
