I Cant get the damn thing off… it is a tuner lug, spline drive lug. I have so far stripped 3 keys. I have used a breaker bar, impact wrench, and a regular tire iron… I put penetrating oil on it over night… tried all three again and still nothing. I am running out of ideas. I do have spacers on the wheels. Does anyone have an idea? ---

the last thing i can suggest to you is using a torch. Use a torch to get it all red hot then let it cool for a bit. The expansion and contraction might let it loosen up. OR a nut extractor which can be bought at most hardware and auto parts stores. there’s 2 more options for you ---

You can try an extractor but the normal sets probably won’t be large enough. I have a set that is sized for lug nuts if you can’t figure anything else out. ---

an extractor set wont get inside the hole in a rim if he is using tuner lugs. best bet would be to take the whole assembly to a shop and use an impact. then torch it if you must. i doubt its siezed. just on real tight ---

mcguard spline drives… and I did use anti-seize…(yeah thats what i said) I just didnt want to torch them cause of the wheels. :banghead: Went over to swerve to see my buddy Rich… Used impact on them (two different guns) all it did was strip and split the spline key into a beautiful art piece… The only thing I have going for me is the nuts are only attached to the spacer not to the actual hubs on the car so if I need to drill them out it would only be ruining the spacer studs… ---

Then it is cross threaded. Torch it or cut a slit in it and air hammer it in a loosening pattern. Be very careful though. ---
