White93z34 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Technology-Locking-Lugnut-Removal-Socket/dp/B000XSGJGS or you can get a cheap 12 point socket and just smash it over top of it with a hammer then spin it off. Quote
skitchin Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 The dealership I used to work at had a universal locking lug kit - might be worth asking a few places Quote
jman093 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Air hammer with chisel bit is another way. Quote

Mater Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 Air hammer with chisel bit is another way. probably the best bet problem is i have no air compressor at my house Quote
virtuetovice Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Scour a few junkyard Cutty's....that's how I gots mine. Best part=GRATIS! Quote
White92Cutlass Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Go to O'reilly Auto and get a locking lug nut removal socket. It reverse threads over the locking lug nut and will take the lock right off. Had to do that with my Mustang a few years ago. I'm thinking it was around $30.00 or so. Edit: just saw the link posted above-that looks similiar to the one I bought. Edited November 7, 2011 by White92Cutlass Quote
Psych0matt Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I had to do the same thing with some rounded off lugnuts when I bought the GTP. There was one that I actually ended up just drilling straight through the center of the stud. Worked just fine, although I have yet to put a new stud in Wow, that removal socket is expensive! I bought mine that has a set of two for about half that at the local carquest. However, Autozone and advance (and I assume similar) do not sell that sort of thing Quote
Mater Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 i'll check to see how much napa has it for i have a discount there Quote
xtremerevolution Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I'm with the hammering a cheap socket in there. Have someone hold it with a vice grip, and get a big hammer. Just don't hit your rim. Quote
Mater Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 the rims are un-important lol the GM dealer still had my car in there system and was able to get a replacement socket for the lugs. only cost me $18. i am still surprised they had the car normally they remove files after 10 years Quote
