I know this is too late, but for future reference for other people since you’ve learned your lesson about tuner lugs… Snap-on makes a set of thin walled lug nut extractors for a reasonable price. Half inch drive so you can hook em’ up to an impact gun. I usually torch the nut till it’s cherry, pound the extractor on while it’s cherry, let it cool for a few minutes, then zip em’ off w/ an impact gun. works every time.
this is what i woulda done, but glad to hear you got the problem solved
lmao!
this also sounds like a very good method
