Go to junk yard. Pick up matching nut off ground. Fixed.

I’m a big fan of just buying a couple extras and keeping them in the glove box, just in case. Especially with anything built by Chrysler with those god awful two piece lug nuts. Not that I know from experience or anything like that.

What about lug bolts? (Not serious, just still salty that I have lug bolts)

I thought you just get a impact & give it all the uga-lugas.
I’m a fan of the Maximum nut-buster. All the uga-luga & boom but all the nuts with 400lb-ft. Put it on my nuts that are been stubborn, pull the trigger . I can feel the uga-lugas through my whole body. Boom, bust the nuts. Easy.

Two piece lug nuts? That just sounds like a bad idea.

I’ve never watched a video that was both boring and strangely satisfying.

I would treat this as a very temporary measure. Be aware that the tap doesn’t “fix” the threads, so much as it cuts material away from whatever threads it’s making. If you’re lucky, it may have followed where the original threads used to be, and cut away only the cross-threaded metal. Or maybe it cut its own new path... right through the old threads, leaving only the weakened, smushed-over metal from the crossthreading to grip the stud with. Either way, you have less material holding the nut (and therefore the wheel) on.
But this doesn’t necessarily mean that your wheel is in imminent danger of falling off. It just means that ONE out of five fasteners is weak. Providing that the other nuts & studs are undamaged, you probably still have somewhere around 90% wheel retention strength. I wouldn’t take it autocrossing, but it should be enough to get you home, or to the parts store for a new lug nut.

Very bad. They have tin caps that swell overtime, then you can't get a socket on them.

Same procedure, tap in hole on car, and if bolt is chewed up, tap die on that to freshen the thread.

Fuck those Chrysler lugnuts. I had a sleeve give way on one. Had to chisel itnoff with a screw driver. Replaced the whole set on my Jeep with solid stainless steel nuts.

Two minutes of a dude playing with his nut. I’m not impressed.
