Anyone know what happens if the nut for the rim is partially stripped?

stripped lug

I believe they have tools to remove the nut, and in the event they can't, I think they have to break it.

just go and get a new stud and lug nut. I had 2 stripped on mine 2 years ago. Thats all I had to do

Just weld another bolt to it and loosen it with the proper size socket, thats what I had to do.

there's some stuff in any parts store to loosen the nut and you can buy some stuff that is sticky and grabs onto the stripped nut. It's easy. Then get yourself a new nut.

Thanks for the suggestions. I never heard of the sticky stuff but I will definitely check it out. Is that stuff permanent?

i remember when i was changing my tires a couple years ago, i broke the entire nut hehe but yea, like someone else said, just weld another bolt on, find the right socket size and remove it like that

[legendboy]

its stretched because you over tightened it. you'll probaly have to break it to get it off. putting a new stud in on the back is easy, putting a new stud in the front is a major pain in the ass on hondas.

I'd try to break the nut as the last resort.

Not sure if the heat from welding a new nut onto the old one would damage aluminum rims...... I wouldn't do it.
