Well guys, I got em! The dealership didn't have a key to fit and wanted $100 to remove them with no guarantee of not damaging the wheels. So I decided to give hammering a socket on one more try. The 21mm spun previously and the 13/16" didn't want to go on, but with some persuasion from a 3lb sledge, the 13/16" wedged on there! Once on, it broke the nut loose no problem!

Moral of the story....use a bigger F'ing hammer!

Unfortunately those bolt-out extractor sockets do not go big enough. All the ones I looked at only go up to 19mm or 3/4". I need 21mm or 13/16" to fit on my lug nut.

They were find on my 21 mm. The point is you hammer them on.

On some lug nuts sure, but 19mm is .748 inches and that was not fitting on mine. 13/16" (0.8125") barely fit with a lot of persuasion. Ruined a socket, an extension and a piece of pipe, but got those bastards off!
