ok the cutlass has locking lugnuts. the guy i got it from does not have the socket for them. neither does his sister (original owner) she said it came witht hem when she bought the car back in 95 from the dealer but i am not sure

 

 

did GM ever sell cars with locking lugnuts stock?

 

how can a get these off with out using a saws-all on them?

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.

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 :lol:

 

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

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
