My problem is that when I was removing my lug nuts that I rounded off my key and 2 of my lugs. One of my lugs also actually broke. I only tried to remove 4, so u can see my issue. My question is that does anyone know any special trick or special tool to remove rounded and or broken lug nuts. I'm going to be replacing them with a better quaility metal as soon as I can get these off.

Thanks in advance,
Brad

 

I'm having a hard time picturing a rounded off lug nut, post a picture.

 

Its rounded off. Whats the difference btw a lug nut and a typical nut? They make special fittings to removed rounded off nuts. Hopefully that would work

 

Its the lug nut type that has the key that fits into the middle. I don't know the exact "style" that's its called. However, there are easily rounded off...

 

i know they make sockets for stripped nuts but i have taken a socket a little smaller and beat it on the lug nut to get them off. if it comes off the nut will be stuck in the socket just take a screw driver and knock it out.

 

I had the same problem I but i had gorillas lug nut and i use air chisel...slowly making the lug nut come off...idk if this helps but ask for more info

 

thanks for all the input. i'm going to try to force a socket into the lug nut tonite and see if that works.

thanks,
