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?

The dealership I used to work at had a universal locking lug kit - might be worth asking a few places

or you can get a cheap 12 point socket and just smash it over top of it with a hammer then spin it off.

Air hammer with chisel bit is another way.

 

probably the best bet problem is i have no air compressor at my house

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

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.

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
