Even if I could there's not enough room because of the stud (reason for stripping it in the first place) nothing will go on the outside because there's 1mm clearance between the nut and the wheel. Can't grind slots any deeper without damaging the wheel.
Might just throw a Granada at it
get a screwdriver and put it in the slot you made a d try and bash it in the undo direction with a hammer

If you keep bashing it you might break off any bit left to use.
Take it to a workshop and get them to weld a nut onto it, then undo it with the welded on nut.
Just make sure they put a protective barrier around your rim to protect it.

Bash the crap out of the rim until it falls apart and then you should be able to save the stud :P

    Began stripping down the gearbox side of the engine bay.


    Why does the gearbox in the car have an LSD stamped number on it.... :?


    Fair bit more work to tackle as the battery has been leaking acid. Nice paint stripper that stuff is.

    There's a Dexron III LSD oil? :lol:

    And I thought we already discussed this in another thread. Our LSD's don't require a special oil.
