Pound a socket around the same size on to the end of it and use an impact to get it off.

yeah that should work. and if it dosent you could always invest in a set of those stripped bolt sockets. you hammer them on and losen the nut. that easy.

i bought this shell(theft rec.) at an auction, its a 98 supersonic blue gs-r that has only 38,000 miles!
its gonna be another project soon:). anyways, it came with "the blades" wheels that io wanted to try to my DA. it looks good on 3 wheels and a steelie lol hehe.
i still need to get that one

Ya just a regular socket works just have to let the impact spin it till it heats and expands and locks and removes it, But good job getting it off

its like $35 for the impact deep ones. you get total of 6 diff sizes in 3 sockets
but you can get the lowest set smaller ones as $10. its called "bolt-out" sockets
