How to get a broken lug nut off?

I managed to break 2 lug nuts off of my car. Half of the nut is still on the wheel stud though. There’s not enough left for the socket to grab so i need to think outside of the box. Any ideas?

Answer #1

Um lets see Vice Grips maybe or Cold chisels whats left of the nut in half.

Answer #2

Spray it with PB Blaster and let it soak then try vice grips or even a pipe wrench. You can also heat it with a torch the drive it out with a hammer but be careful doing that.

Answer #3

Thanks for the replies! I ended up getting it off with a hole saw and torching it
