Sometimes you can pound a 12 point socket on it.Maybe heat then beat it on and then use a long breaker bar. ---

I went to the hardware store today to try and find a socket I could get to fit in the wheels. I bought a few different ones I will update tomorrow… Why does it always seem that a job that should take 10 min ends up taking hours and $$$$!!! lol ---

Hey thought I would give an update… after not finding any size socket to fit over the nuts and into the wheels we just had to drill out the studs… in all I got the first wheel off… 13 out of the remaining 15 lugs and studs needed to be drilled… I think that would be lesson learned… 7 wheel keys and $80 in drill bits later… Got the damn things off… ---
