i heard a story about a guy that once tryed to remove a locking lug nut with a blue wrench..had outlawll wheels and plastic center caps...needless to say the cap wasnt on when i worked on it..i got one side off with a big pair of vise grips and the other side i had to hammer on like a 1 1/8 socket onto it then hit it with the gun and off it came...
i guess im writing this to ask why? why would some one try to burn off a locking lug..espically with aluminum rims..if you ever tryed this..place answer my queston..

its very posible to torch a lug off of the stud even if an aluminum wheel is being held on by it. if the person behind the torch has any experiance with a torch at all he could do it. just like cutting a nut off a bolt.The plastic center cap would def be toast. so i wouldnt tool on the guy too much maybe it happened to be his only or last course of action, except he sucked with the torch.
