Default Re: 5 spline wheel lugs and socket

This will sound somewhat "Neanderthal" but I have used an 1/2" impact socket just slightly smaller then the wheel lock nut. Using the socket, a 1/2" extension (which may be toast after your done) and a drill hammer, drive the socket onto the locking lug nut -- then carefully attempt to remove the lug nut. This will put "flats" on the lug nut for the socket to grip -- of course this will ruin the lug nut. Good luck! TAZ
