Cracked wheel lock update: pic inside...
Here's how the damage looks like:
 I've asked several tech people and they suggest either drilling the remaining bit of the lock with a dremel, carefully of course, or using needle-nosed vice grips to try to rotate the remaining piece out. Any suggestions? |

a couple way to attack this without damaging the wheel...
drill two small holes in the leftover of the lock, opposite of each other, then use the tips of needle nose pliers to get it out. if it's still torqued, then you're kinda screwed... use a drill to drill out the lug stud and install a new stud once the wheel comes off. |

did you try getting a bolt with reverse thread so that when you are tightening that bolt you will unloosen the lug. i can't really tell from the pic how deep the hole is drilled to tell if it will work but it might be worth a try.

I would cut the stud from behind with torchs and drive it out with a zip gun,that way it wouldn't damage the wheel.
In fact I already did that once on a Caravan,might work on a Civic too. Having a fully equipped shop can be cool sometimes
