I do this all the time at the shop, take a socket just to small to go over it(impact socket) use a 4lb mini slede and beat the fucker on. then remoce like normal. then u put the socket in the vise and use a air hammer to op the nut out

go to advance auto, get a universal anti theft lug kit. return after using the keyed socket, saying 'the lugs are the wrong pitch, im returning these' and take the cash, and walk out.

Weld a nut onto the end. I did this recently, worked good.

Man aparently this ---- happens more often than I thought, lol. I guess I'll take a look at the key in a universal set and see if it fits, thos ------- flower patterns are slightly different tho like I said.

dunno if your being sarcastic or not but i had one of those (think it was a gator grip) and it actually worked pretty good. once you busted a single piston in the stack you were fucked though cause they twist against each other

Ya! Gator Grip that's the one.

I have a gator grip, the ---- is pretty weak. I'd bet using it on a lugnut would break it :-\
