Default broken lugnut

i went today to put on my new tires but i think they had over torqued the lugs. so as i was taken it apart the wheel to do a little modifications to the fender wells the lug cracked in half. now i am just wondering if anyone knows of anything i can use or anyone i can go to that can take out the broken lug without messing up my wheels. im located in broward miami if anyone knows of anything here. thanks any help will be very useful.

sorry to hear that. you can try to hammer a socket, not sure if that will work well, be careful of the wheel

otherwise, you need to go to a shop, and drill out the whole stud, and "damage" the lug that way to take it out. of course afterwards you will have to replace the stud too

I've heard people uses liquid nitrogen.. freezes the stud and lug and break it.. take it to a local shop...
