Removing worn/stripped lug nuts
I've had it with my stupid Kyokugen lug nuts. I've tried removing them in order to install my suspension but it was too hard. The heptagonal key got stripped and worn down too. Some of my lugs are so worn I don't think any tool could fit into it and get them off. They're just put in too tightly to be removed by hand. Does anyone know a good shop in the socal area that could remove stripped/worn down heptagonal lug nuts? I don't care about the cost/labor fee I just want to get those pieces of **** off right now!

No I don't have studs on them right now, just the open-end lugs

The old sacrificial socket trick. If you have craftsmen or any other warrantied tool set use a socket that is one side too small and hammer it on then put the ratchet or breaker bar on and yank it off.

I think if you take it into any big tire shop they should be able to get it off for you.. Not sure if you tried this but when you pound a socket over it try and turn it slowly to brake it free

I had the kyokugen lug nuts too. That piece of **** key pissed me off. Started messing up the lug nuts too. I had to order a new key. Was like $20, but after this, I'm just getting a new set of lug nuts.
