If turning inside the hub, you might be able to put pressure on the wheel (or have someone do it for you) and turn the lug nut off that way. By putting pressure on the tire, it might catch inside of the hub where it's supposed to be. The reason I'm thinking this is the case is because of it was actually broken and you have the rest of the nuts off, the wheel would come off with the lug stuck inside of it. | |
