Re: Help! Stripped lug nut
I'm not sure if it will but lets face it a lug nut should be tourqued
to 100 ft/lbs. If all else fails it might be worth a try if you can
find one of these "hi tech" devices. :)

Re: Help! Stripped lug nut
Craftsman has a tool refered too as a "nut buster" No pun. Harbor Freight
sells one too. It goes around the nut and cuts it in half.

One other trick besides the beaten on socket, etc. that might work is
to take a sharp cold chisel and set it just inside where the points on
the nut used to be. If you have enough left, you can usually start
the nut with a few healthy blows from your trusty BMFH. You may have
a probblem getting the chisel on the nut squarely if the rim
interferes. It wouldn't work at all on mine - the nuts are recessed
inside a well.
