Stud help

[Gstang117]

Well I've done fucked up my first wheel stud install on the jeep. Didn't space the nut out far enough and I managed to bottom it out before the stud went all the way through. Tried to back it out and now the studs spinning along with the nut. Tried to vice grip it and it didn't hold. Tried to use a clamp and a larger socket to push it in farther without any luck. I would like to try and keep the stud at all costs. Any help guys???

weld it maybe?

need to see it. can you take a pic? then we might have some ideas for you.

Just a shot.... are you putting new studs in your hub and the stud didn't pull in and lock when tightening? Sound like you bottomed out the nut and now the nut is jammed on the stud? Am I right.... If so you can try taking a mini sledge with a punch and drive the stud in from the back.
