I have had them like this before and I just cut the old one off and replaced the lug and nut with new one's. You can probably you can get new lugs and nuts for 3-4 bucks a piece if I remeber. I keep about 6 on hand for just this purpose.

He said they were rusted so bad they had lost their shape...I doubt he was gonna re-use them. :drink:

Nuts lost shape. Not the stud, is how I understood it, assuming from the title he has studs.

I agree, cut off both the nut AND stud and replace them all if you heat them up.
