Does anybody have an idea where I can purchase a 5 sided wheel nut
socket? Or alternative removal tech?
Thanks!

buy new lugs from dave and he'll send you a socket to get the old ones off, then send it back when you are done. It'll cost you half what the socket costs.

Welcome to hummer/hmmwv ownership. Where one off parts will get you.

I'd do the blue hummer conversion and get a loan of the sockets.

AM General / Hummer went with a custom 5 sided bit to prevent people splitting the rim while pressurized instead of unbolting the wheel.

A good way to prevent that is to require a expensive socket.

hahahahahaha!
150 bucks for a GD socket!

I placed my order today for the hex nuts with Bluehummer Outfitters.
Dave responded promptly and confirmed that he will loan the socket.
That's how business should be run!

It's called customer service. There's not enough of that anymore!

Thanks again all!!!!
