The steel in these lug nuts are 1957 American steel. Chinese tools cringe before retreating before these things. Drexel tools and Chinese nut cutters will not cut these. It will have to be a torch or a machine shop....

Just received a "nut-buster" to try to cut into the lug nuts. No success at all. The shape of these old wheels make it difficult to get the device level and even, but it did cut some (at an angle due to the shape of the wheel), but not enough to break the nut. Good item to have, but not a solution in this case.
It is going to be either the machine shop, or a couple Forward Lookers have offered a replacement, and I think that is where I am leaning..... Larry

There are induction bolt heaters that heat up a localized area, in this case only the nut. They cost a bit but it could save you $$ in the end.
