Broken Lug Nut HELP!!!

RE: Broken Lug Nut HELP!!!
On the aluminum lug nuts, typically I take a 12 point deep well socket and pound it with a large hammer so it digs into the aluminum socket. Then using a long breaker bar, remove the lug nut. It will not work using an air impact gun, you must use the breaker bar and put slow pressure to it.

RE: Broken Lug Nut HELP!!!
Hmm...same problem here!! what happens if the lug is so "gone" that it's almost flush with the wheel? I tried the "smaller socket" bit, but there was so little left, that the socket just shredded it. Should i drill it out a little bit a time? i'm completely stuck here. The tire needs to be removed to replace a wheel bearing and front brakes. Otherwise, the car is undrivable.
I'm actually amazed that porsche would use such light weight, seeminly weak lugs.Am i missing something? is it bad to use steel lugswithfuchs wheels?
