Stripped lug nuts how do I get them off?

[Longroof79]

Just make sure the lugnuts you replace them with is the type with a conical shoulder on them. People make the mistake of using typical steel wheel lugnuts that don't have the prescribed shoulder. Those end up not seating properly and chewing up your aluminum wheels.

I usually get a 12 point socket, a size smaller, whether it be metric or SAE, and beat it one the nut, HARD. Impact gun and voila! That works 75% of the time. Then it gets more extreme after that. I would try that first, and be prepared to destroy the socket.

Sears also sells bolt outs, they work really good. But a socket is cheaper

THIS ^^^^

I went through this on my friends on camaro. Banging a socket on didn't work. We wound up torching them off. Oxy-acetylene torch right on the center of the stud. Didn't damage the wheel because we kept the heat off it and the steel lug melted and rolled right off the aluminum wheel onto the floor. Then replaced the stud.
