    I have two lug nuts that refuse to budge. I already broke a 3/4
socket with the impact wrench.  Anyone have any ideas how to get them to
break?  I have already tried a 1/2 ratchet with a cheater bar,  impact
wrench, goobs of penetrating oil etc...

    I was thinking about drilling out the center of the nut and stud in
hope the stud. Then using the impact wrench again to break the stud.
Does this sound like a good idea?

BTW Sears replaced the broken socket with out a question. What a great
warranty.
