bleh, thread a lugnut onto the wheelstud and take a hammer to the lugnut. it'll pop out after 2 or 3 strikes tops.

get 4 or 5 m12 washers and stack em up. thread the lugnut on the stud and turn till it pulls in all the way.

those studs are easy to smack off. just thread a lugnut and smack with a hammer. easy. done.
