Yeah, so I stripped a locking lug nut (you know, one of those funky patterns) on one of my wheels trying to get it off. I've got Rota Subzeros so there's room to get around the nut with some pliers or something. Anybody have any ideas? I don't think I have the tools to do it.

Wackie.....you are having ISSUES!!!!!
I feel for you man, I know what it's like to try and get something done....and keep running into problems.

Ask Andy (BADWRX) he's good at getting off tight bolts and almost striped bolts...so might be able to help

This could be very convenient. Andy is going to come pick up the hood he is buying from me some time....

 

I might be with him.....

to take the hood from him...but don't let him know...OK
hahaha

i had the same problem.
they aren't the kyokugen lugs are they? that's what happened to me and a whole group of people. at least you know your wheels won't get stolen.

anyway, if you get as desparate as me just take your car to america's tire co and have them break the locks off. it only takes about 5 minutes and they only chaged me $3 cause i bought my dunlops there.

good luck

 

It would work a little better if my car was driveable right now. :/

 

whoa sorry i didn't know that your car wasn't driveable

 

Dremel it!

Use a Dremel to cut a slot in the top then try to unscrew it, you'll need a Dremel and a Kung-Fu grip to get some leverage in there.

 

Hmm......... I've been meaning to buy a dremel. "Kung Fu" grip? Do I need to give Jet Li a call or something?

 

Super easy. Just get a smaller size socket and take a BFH and hammer the socket onto the lug. Replace with new lug, and dont torque to 200ft/lbs next time.
