Well my wife changed the tire the other day while i was out of town, and I didnt think to check the lug nut bolts a few days after it was changed to make sure it was tight. Well long story short they broke off. I was able to get all of them but one out. While i was hammering them out i was rotating the disc to make sure they would come out. but on the last one i forgot and ended up with this.

Any tips on how to get that last bolt that is wedged on the other side out?

and also when i install the new ones do i just tighten the lug not all the way down before i put back together so it will pull it through the rest of the way through the hole.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Thanks in advance

It's so much easier to just replace the hub assembly. If the truck has 140 miles on it, you're probably due.

Can you not just turn the hub, or use a pry bar to wedge it back in? If not, then a sawzall or die grinder would do.

I would tighten a lug nut on before installing the wheel so you can see if it is bottomed out.

Thanks for all the input guys. Was able to get it out with a grinding wheel bit and a drill, fairly simple enough. and i just put all the bolts back in, that one was a tough. Should i be worried about putting any kind of lubricant on the shiny metal surfaces when im putting it all back together.

I like to put a little anti seize on all mating surfaces (rotor to hub, and wheel to rotor) to prevent any issues down the road

Install the wheel studs dry. If you lube them to make installation easier, it also makes removal easier. Not something you want here.
