My '83 westy has a flat in my driveway and if I use the "factory supplied"
lug wrench all I'm doing is stripping the nuts.  Any suggestions on getting
them off?

Thanks,
Bryan.

 Dear Bryan,
         I saw later where you had the frozen lug nut torched off. But if you
do not wish to go thru that again try this method. Buy a 3/4" metal cutting
hole saw. Must be for metal. Like the ones that are cylindrical and hollow  in
the middle and a pilot drill down the center. Here's the catch! Take the
centering drill bit OUT  and just use the clyinder. The wheel stud will center
it for you as you drill in. If you are careful and take your time when you cut
thru the lug nut there will be almost a little heli coil of the lug nut
threads left on the stud which you can remove easily. Hope this helps others
on the list.
