    Did they try welding on a leverage bar to the snapped end? Not even sure if that would work, but it seems like it would grip better than a pair of vise grips.

    I have aftermarket longer bolts. They've never failed to come out cleanly.

    This is a great reminder to put some anti-seize on the studs whenever you remove the wheels. Prevents this problem.

    Arghh, this has been driving me nuts....

    These are lug bolts y'all are talking about in this thread, not studs.

    OK, I feel better now...

    And a little anti-seize on the studs helps the lug nuts go one and come off better, and I mean a little...just enough to barely cover.

    My garage WILL have a lift... after I pay for the other $50K worth of things I couldn't afford that I already bought.
