Thanks a bunch!

Didn't you say it was the dealers fault? Leave it alone before you fudge up the wheel. Make the dealer repair it. If they damage the wheel, they're responsible, and should replace it.

If they tell you they won't then you will have to Cut the stud off or try and cut the lug nut off. Can be very difficult cause you will more than likely did into the rim. I recommend a Dremel here.

just hit it with a hammer if the lug nut is off of it.. if its not off cut it off with a die grinder and then take everything off and then hit it with a hammer

Ya, it is the dealers fault and Im taking it to him tomorrow but I thought I might as well try. I am being VERY carefully and the wheel is fully protected. Right now im trying to split the nut off
