What about that candle idea, where you heat up the lugnut and press a candle onto it! The wax draws itself into the threads and the lugnut comes right off!! Google it!!
There is also a reverse thread socket that you turn onto the lugnut! It turns counterclockwise u til the threads bottom out then it spins off the lugnut! My neighbor has been using one for the last week removing the locks on his sons car to do a brake job! The toughest part is getting the lug out of the socket, you have to clamp the lugnut into a vise and use a pipe wrench to turn the socket!! It works tho!
The candle wax trick won't work because the ends of the lug nuts aren't open. I have a "set" of the sockets you speak of, but it doesn't have a size to fit the nuts. I guess I didn't think that they might be available in other sizes that I don't have. Duhhhh!
