I didn't have any get stuck in the socket. I used a 21 MM to pound on (which is the size I believe they are from the factory) which just smashed the chrome cover tight to the lug underneath, broke the lug loose, and then wiggled the socket free before removing the lug completely. Worked pretty well. The chrome covers were so deformed before I replaced them, the only socket I could get on them was a 22 MM. Which probably contributed to their demise due to the loose fit and rounding corners.
The new lugs I picked up from Wheelers are I believe Gorilla Brand, so they are pretty good quality. It was nice to be able to final torque them with the torque wrench and not have to worry about it slipping and busting up my knuckles. :lol:
Looks good, but at a glance it almost looks like all the lug nuts are missing! >
On a somewhat related note, I recently rotated my tires using the same 13/16" spark plug socket that I have always used. Getting tired of the too-tight fit (just on some) so will soon buy a real 21mm six-point. Only been air-wrenched twice and each time deforms the covers a bit more. That's just one more reason I prefer rotating them myself...
I can't count how many times mine have been wailed on bythe monkeys and their air wrenches and myself. Between three new sets of tires in about a year (I couldn't make up my mind), lifting, removing the lift, and then re-lifting the truck. Not to mention all the regular rotations, my lugs were/are garbage...
