ummm. usually i would just run on 3 lug nuts... itll hold unless you want to try to remove it, or change the hub..

is the lug nut still on or off?

You mean you can't get the lug off? weld a socket to it, or find one that you can smash on there with a hammer.

You really want to take that much trouble? I would find a socket that just barely doesn't fit, like perhaps an Imperial sized one or something, and mash the ---- out of it till it's on.

vice grip? I suppose you could try to find a nut splittler big enough, but I doubt you'll find one.
