I bought a corsa which had 15ingh wheels on, which i was trying to take them off today and replace them with another ones. Each wheel had locking security nuts on already and i managed to open 3 wheels but as i was trying to take off security nut off the 4th one, it was tightened so hard that the inside nut of the wheel hole shreaded. What can be done about this

so the bolt snapped?
Get a garage to weld a nut on the sticking out thread and the heat will allow it to come free using the new nut as leverage!

if you have stripped the thread in the hub, its probally safer to replace the hub than attempting any repair on it such as re threading the hole, saves you worring about the wheel falling off

could try drilling it, but like said, probably easier to replace the hub
i had a smilar problem on the back of mine where a tyre place used to windy gun to put locking nuts on, and when trying to take them off it just stripped the nut and key, so had to drill it out and it took a month of sundays before it dropped...
