Took a lug off and determined depth with a nail and tape to mark. (Stuck it in the drilled stud to see how far down I need to go)

Success! Took less than an hour. Picking up a stud replacement from the dealership in the morning and putting it on tomorrow. Hopefully this helps someone else in the future. |

Glad you got it off, congrats.
When installing the new stud, it may be required to grind off a flat into the head that ends up on the back of the hub. This can allow installing the stud without removing the hub. Last edited by Charlie-III; 06-10-2017 at 12:05 AM. Reason: Fix typo. |

Studs on 15+ wrx are easy to replace. Had townfair tire swap out my winter tires to summers and they over torqued my studs. Had to change three in total front and back. Front is very easy if you have an impact, just hammer out and draw it back in after you take off the rotors. Rear is a little harder just because you have to take off the rear drum brake assembly. Just be sure to pick up some open ended nuts and washers.

Same thing happened to me. I still have the whole lug nut though. The inside where the key fits is the only thing that broke and rounded out.
I agree with rpmgsxr..... locking lugs are useless to me. I don't really feel like drilling the stud, I'm thinking of trying some vice grips maybe.? |

There are tools for removing locking lugnuts, check your local tire shop to see if they will remove it for you. Other option is drill into the end of the nut and use an easyout. |

Having said all that... I'm glad you got that broken lug nut off. This thread was an interesting read. |
