All the fancy lug nut remover tools we have at the dealership I work at suck compared to a 20mm chrome socket (over a 21mm nut/locking nut). Hammer it on, use an impact to turn it off. The socket will just spin for a minute or two at first, but the lug nut soon heats up from all the friction, expands, and then the stud either snaps or the nut spins off.
Run_Away is right. This works 99.9% of the time.
The only thing I'd add is that if you use a Craftsman deep socket, they'll replace it for free. Ask me how I know!

Finally got some time to work on this. Bought a Kobalt 18mm deep well socket and hammered it on. Hit it a few times with the impact gun, nothing. Put on my breaker bar with 6 ft cheater pipe. Off she came. My compressor is pretty marginal so I don't think the gun was getting a good enough whack.
Thanks for the help!

Glad to hear of your success. I've had good luck with a Gator socket for about $15 from PB or AZ. The Matco set is nicer but $$$.
