After that you might want to look into new hubs. They are not top expensive but will save you the trouble again.

Craftsman makes a socket that works like an E Z Out.

If your going to get it from Advance auto to buy it then do it online and select pick up in store. Type in VISA for a discount.

Why? You can buy new lugnuts for under $15 for a complete set for the vehicle.

If someone runs low on oil, do you recommend buying another vehicle?

take it to a tire place and have them get it off. It will save you time and hassle.

Good, now it's time to ditch those cheap factory lugnuts that have the tin shell and buy some quality lugnuts.

Go to Advance Auto Parts and pick up their set of Irwin easy out sockets. They'll save your butt time and time again...especially those of us that live in the salt belt.
