if you do it yourself, its like $5 for the lug at honda...the problem is you have to take off the hex bolt and the cover plate, which is kind of a b****. I had to replace all 4 on my old 93 accord.

just hope that you can get it off mechnically.

if not they'll have to weld a tab to it to twist it off. and if the arc welder isn't grounded well it could fry internal computers and stuff.

Try these. They worked great on my suspension. It takes alittle efford to set them in, but I haven't found anything they wont take off yet. They also have a smaller set with like 5 in it.

u'd still have to get the plate that they sit in off. Its a bitch, you need 2 hammers, and elbow grease....took me and my buddies about an hour....easy to put on, hard to take off...

well if you have a stripped lug nut, then you have a stipped bolt. There is a metal plate when you take off your rims, that the bold feeds through, thats the plate im talkin about...im guessing he has to replace the bolt as well?
