Default Frozen wheel lug Help!
Hi to all...Does anyone have advice on how to remove a frozen lug. It would happen to be the special security keyed one. I took the shark to Belltire for a balance and they must used a air ratchet on the lug and now i have broken two of the special sockets. The wheels are polished dish "s".

Thanks
Kirkg

If they did this the first time I'd rather take care of it myself.

Have them remove it then put a normal lug nut on yourself. If they damage the wheel make them pay for it.

I have read a thread on this before on this sight. I believe one of the sponsors sells a tool for this problem.
