Reply to "Wheel Stud ... stripped what to do"

Well, if it is a screwed in stud and the stud is stripped, then using the same leverage technique should pull the exposed inner end of the stud (which I assume still has threads on the exposed 1/4" of stud and holding it in) into the stripped hole and the impact driver should either spin it out or proceed to strip the remaining threads off of the end of the stud. Either way, it should come out with enough leverage or impact torque, right?

Or maybe the wheel will get loose enough to allow the nut to spin off of the stud (while holding the wheel as a lever against the hub).

That's all I've got.
