You're the first, Steve.
So here are all the ideas presented for Mike's consideration so far, in no particular order:
- Sears Bolt-Out?
- Vice-grips?
- Needle nose vice grips 8^)
- Weld bolt on the end, put wrench on head of bolt to turn.
- Put an undersize 12 pt. socket on the lug nut and hammer the snot out of it, discard when done.
- Use cold chisel to notch and drive the nut around.
- Pipe wrench
- Take it to a shop (place where vehicle purchased or otherwise), and pay them to remove them using whatever method works for them.
- Heat, penetrating oil, and "special sockets" (sounds like hand-waving
- maybe he meant the Sears thingies, or the undersize 12-point).
Hey Mike - I hope I didn't scare you off. If your serious with your questions, we're willing to help.
