All of my locking lug nuts have been either a free-wheeling device or a
funny shape that you can't grab with an ordinary wrench/socket.
Are you saying there are some that just lock to the stud & refuse to turn ?
Even so, the solution remains the same : twist the stud off & replace it
with a new one. A 6' length of 1" diameter iron pipe is only a few $$ at
Home Despot and slips right over a Crapsman breaker bar. I used to use that
combination a lot on my motorhome lug nuts, which were supposed to be
torqued to something like 175 ftlb. They would just laugh at my impact gun
... until I got a 1" drive impact gun <g>
