Stripped front lug nuts
I have two front lug nuts that seem to be stripped. I never noticed before becuase I have not needed to remove the front tires. Well now I do and I have no idea how to get them off. Any help would be great. And when I say stripped they are pretty bad what tips or tricks would you suggest

Stripped front lug nuts
By stripped I'm assuming that you are meaning the threads. If you are able to turn the nut but it's not coming off try to get behind it with a screwdriver and hold some tension on it while you are turning it. Once it starts moving it should come on off.
If by stripped you are meaning the nut is rounded, you can remove it with a special tool they sell at sears. It looks like a socket but has teeth on the inside. All you have to do is hammer it on the nut (it also works for bolts or studs). Once it is in place, you just turn it with a wrench.
