    A 12 point socket,one size smaller than the lugnut,tap than wack,pound in on,it should turn right off....i do it all the time,make sure you use a cheap socket,you dont wont to tear up,a nice name brand one....good luck...
     
  2. take a pipe just about the size of the lug nut and cut a slit down one side at least four inches six is better. hammer the pipe over the lug nut and use a vise grip and a hose clamp to squeeze te pipe closed around the lug nut use more than one hose clamp and it should grab enough to work it loose.

    The best option came a few suggestions ago the internally reverse threaded socket works like a charm. My first idea is the red neck way

    Bust off the stud. new wheel studs are probably cheaper than sockets.Unless you use a craftsman (wink)
