I was painting the my brembos a nice red, when out of nowhere, on the last f*ckin wheel, i think i may have stripped a lug!! I've never encountered this before, but it just spins freely in both directions, but wont come off! It was not anymore difficult get breakaway, but then it stopped moving after that. I tried tightening all the other lug nuts, and even tried lowering it back down, still spins freely....
I am MAN DOWN until i can get this nut off!!!!!!!
Can anyone help???

i think when you get to the dealership it is some kind of defect...you'r one strong mofo to break the lug never heard that before..i think their going to fix it under warranty no worries..

Call road side assistance and have tow it to the dealer if they wont then call the dealer . And if they tell you it`s OK to drive it to them then do it. I don't want to go to UTI show and not see you SRT8.

Yeah seriously!!! Figures this kinda **** would happen!!! Im getting the CAI later this week, and im having second thoughts on doing it myself, if this is the kind of work i can expect from myself!!! :damnit1:

You mite just have a bad stud or it did not seat in the hub right. I don't know if you can get your hand on the back of the stud to see if it turns in the hub. If it turns in the hub thats a factory defect. The CAI is a ease to do.
