nah. this happened to me. the lugs are two pieces. the hex head is a separate piece from the bolt. i took a lug i could get off and beat it with a monkey wrench until the hex cap popped off. place the newly freed cap on that one and you're good to go.

You shouldn't have to use a "monkey" wrench. Two options: find the seam where the cap meets the body of the stud you're sacrificing, and hit it with a cold chisel. It should separate the two so you can use a vice to pop them apart. Your other option is to drill through the center of the top of the cap on your sacrificial stud. Then use a hammer and a punch, with the lug in a vice, and pound the stud portion out of the cap.
Don't forget to soak the area with AeroKroil, both around the stud, and the wheel/hub interface. It will help you break **** loose.

it happened to me a long time ago. i used a cutting torch to heat the stud till it was red hot, then pounded an 8 point socket on to it. it worked pretty good, but the cap idea sounds better.

1: Find a nut that can fit over the stud and weld the center.
2: Drill out the stud, and then unscrew from the hub and replace the stud.
3: not recommended but drive with the other nuts loose - it'll come off sooner or later. But then you need to repair the car and get a new rim too.
