I finally got a replacement set of lug nuts to take care of the capped ones that have been worked over by myself and various tire shops over the years. One of the old lug nuts is rounded off. I pounded on the 27mm socket. The cap turned, but not the nut itself.
I Dremeled off most of the cap (probably a mistake but as the cap was spinning I didn't know what else to do). Now I've managed to round off the nut itself after hammering on a 1" socket. The nut was probably torqued to God-knows-what ft/lbs by the tire shop.
So what to do now? Drill it on either side of the stud and hammer the shit out of it, hoping that it breaks and just falls off of the stud?
Yes, I know that I'm a moron so save it.:victory:
