I need to get security lug nuts off my car. I'll pay cash if you can drop by and get them off.

Send my cash via paypal, I already told fris one way of removing them. And if you want to sell the coilovers bad you can still remove them without the rims taken off, its just a bigger hassle.

Is there someway of getting the hub out? Heh get the hub out, break off all the heads from the lug studs on the other side and pop them out the other way, It'll cost you like 25 bucks in new studs and a headache of getting them all in if it works...

Cut of those shiney heads with a dremel and try something like this

Maybe will even work without cutting off the heads

1. get 20 close sized craftsman or snapon deep socket.
2. Hammer them on to the lugs with a 5lb sledge
3. Take sockets back to sears and get new ones.

I think those are the spline-type lug nuts by Gorilla. I've got the adapter for the McGard spline lug nuts which are a little different. Good luck!

This is the way wheel shops do it. You find a socket that's just smaller than the O.D. of the lugnut and hammer it on. Then put the ratchet on a loosen it.

yep i do it daily, should'nt bust the socket on one so just get a punch or something of that sort and with a good anvil vice can pound the lug out.
