what I do is if you have room in lug itself and have some larger enough bolts preferably motor/tranny mount bolts, wd40 the inside of the lugnut drive the bolt in and loosen with a 17. It's economical (you can go to to the junkyard and start pullin big bolts out for next to nothing) it won't harm the surrounding part of the wheel like the over the lug ones might, and you get good distance from the wheel to use your breaker bar. make sure you use a hardened bolt.

that would be great but the 757 is a long way too travel for a broken lug. thanks for the offer. Im looking for something closer to the 703.
