Nope, it's the nut face. Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm going
to drive over to Sears a little later and see if they have that Lug-Out that
was recommended.

Thanks,

Bryan

I think perhaps Bryan may be talking about the thread interface (nut / stud)
being stripped and not the nut faces where the wrench fits. I have
experienced what he is referring to after visits to Sears et al, and if it
is the threads that are stripped, I would definitely recommend new hardware.

Cheers,

My mechanic must have set his torque wrench set on "bolt sieze" as it took
forever to get the lug nuts off my rear wheels to put on the snows.  I ended
put striping one of the bolts good. Real good. Is that something I can go
get a tool for at Sears hardware or should I just wait until the shop opens
and bring it over this week?

Thanks,
