Re: Wheel lock
 
Bummer, I would try an old socket I thought nothing of that's just
smaller and drive it on, then use an impact. But the way that works for
me is to arc weld a bolt to it, usually the heat from the job will make
it so a star wrench will spin it off.
Most of the time when the lug nuts feel too tight it's really that
they were too loose and peined the nut causing it to gull on the way
off.
