This is nuts

Die grinder with a good carbide bit or air hammer it to death with a good quality air hammer.

I had this happen up front on my yj.

We ended up using a cold chisel(air chisel would work too) to take off as much of the lug off as possible then used a center punch and a big sledge to knock the stud back. came off in a few hits once all the lug was cleared off

tighten the crap out of the rest of the lugs.
Get a good set of bits
center punch the remaining part of the nut and start drilling
drill until get half an inch or more into the stud
then stick a thick punch into the hole and try to snap the stud
if that hasn't worked drill some more then drive the stud in
it should break and free the wheel.
you'll probably have to drill it out to atleast 7/16 so make sure you get a good centered start on it
Have FUN

If you're going to apply heat anywhere near that rim take the tire off first or you will kill someone.

Or just take the valve stem out so it can't pressurize.

Wow, that's scary!

I'm probably going to drill it out this weekend, I'l let you know how it goes.

Seen the other videos on where the valve stem was removed and the tire unseated and it still blew up. Wow is all I can say.

[vantagetes]

Or just take the valve stem out so it can't pressurize.

Watch the video, they had a fatality where they had removed the valve stem and one where they had unseated the bead. In both cases this reaction builds pressure so quickly that it will still blow the tire (hole for valve stem can't vent fast enough and the second one it built pressure fast enough to reseat the bead)!

[rollicon]

just drill it out. centre punch it then start small and drill right through using plenty of lube. Step up the size 4 or 5 times till till theres almost no stud left. then just snap it off with the wheel. Did it a couple weeks ago and took about 10 minutes.

Same thing happened to me and tried everything you did first then got this roundaround nuts or something in princess auto and worked great, oh soaked with pb blaster overnight first. You can borrow them if you like, let me know.

This is why I won't let any shop install rims on my rigs. It seems like at least half of them just use an impact gun and no torque wrench. I have had wheels massively overtightened at shops ranging from a Ford Dealer to Crappy Tire and all points in between.  One time I had tires put on a work van@ crappy tire and then got a flat a few weeks later. The truck had 5 strong guys and several boxes of tools in it yet they were unable to remove the flat. Let's just say CT paid for the tow and I put on my own rims now. Even if you can get them off, the studs are stretched and damaged from this.
