Help! Broken lug nuts

[sxtasy]

Have any of you had your lug nuts snap (the tuner style type that have a skinny profile to fit in your aftermarket rim) A few of mine have snapped and I cannot get them off. Any advice would be appreciated, I have already tried a few things but no success.

You'd have to either chisel/break them off, or just take the car to a tire shop and they'll get them off in a jiffy. Did you use a torque wrench or an impact gun to torque them down

You can use an emergency lug nut removal tool with an impact wrench, but unless you are a tire shop or know the right people, you WONT have one of these as they can not be sold to the general public.

I would blast them off for you (as my dad sells them to the tire shops), but that would be illegal. So take em to a shop.
Dont try to chissel them off or you will risk fucking up your threads.

I have a nut breaker. You can buy them at tool shops.

LOL is it also known as the Nutcracker?

Yea breakers are legal to be sold to individuals, emergency universal tools arent.
