Tires and Wheels problem
1998 Pontiac Grand Prix Front Wheel Drive

I am trying to change the lug nut studs. I have removed the tire, the brake caliphier and housing, the rotor, the axle nut and 2 of the 3 knuckle nuts. The 3rd one's head is rounded off.
How do I get the lug nut plate off to replace the lug nut studs?

your going to have to drind the sides down into a makeshift bolt head and try turning it out.

or put on a monkey wrench tightly and just ream on it till it snaps off, drill it out and retap.
