center puch and a hammer. We have used it on locking lug nuts. Hit it until it starts to spin, then get it with vise grips.

 

Here's what I did... I bought a socket that was slightly too small for the lug nut... small enough so that I couldn't push it on with just my hands. I then used an 8lb sledge to crank the socket onto the lug nut then used a socket wrench to take the socket and lug nut off with. I think I had to use an extension to get the socket and lug off because I have iroc rims. Obviously both the lug nut and the socket are fused together and are no good after doing this, but it is an easy fix. Also make sure you use a decent size lug wrench... a 1/2 or whatever the big one is. Does this make sense?

 

When space permits, a 'basin wrench' usually works.

 

well its on an iroc rim, and i'm going to try the smaller socket trick

 

I always use the smaller socket. works the best. you won't hurt the rim
