Ok so I have these McGard tuner lugs that lock on my car. Great lugs I may add excepts two of them stripped and I cant get them off. I went into a tire place "Les Schwab" and they told me they would have to drill them off. The problem is I don't really want to pay $200 for them to drill them off.

Does anyone know of any ways to remove these lugs? I called McGard and they sent me a key. I think it might work if I spin it on with a gun. Also any tips on drilling the stud out would be helpful. I have access to a compressor and the tools.

you can jbweld the key to the lug. cept that will only get one lug off. I did that and sent in the jbwelded parts to mcgard, they replaced it for free. Might want to try hammering a socket over the lugnut or jbwelding the socket to it also.

 

Buy some new lugs and go to discount tire and have them rotate your tires. They'll have everything needed to get your old lug nuts off.

 

Its not that simple.
the guy tried to take my lugs off with a socket unsuccessfully. So I'm going to have to either weld something to the end of the lock and get it off that way or drill the stud.
