[Healeys] nuts

Go to Sears and get one of their "Bolt Out" sets with the correct sized
socket.  The "Bolt Out" socket will grasp the rounded edges of the nut.

I'm trying to remove the lug nuts from the rear wheel of my BN2.  They are
not
in the best of shape, and a couple refuse to turn.  Basically, the flats have
become rounded.  The socket fits well, but can't get it to turn, just makes
it
worse.  Anyone have some good idea?.  I don't have an impact wrench; don't
know if that would be a good idea, anyway, as they aren't all that tight,
just
can get ahold of it.  I ready to apply a cold chisel and try to split the
nut.
