I FINALLY got it out though. I drilled and drilled, and wore out most of my bits. I made a trip to Home
Depot, and bought a Cobalt 3/8" bit. It ate right through it and popped the head riight off. I was having
horrible thoughts of yanking the axle, towing, etc etc... But all is well. Just be aware if it's never happened
to you, the heads can come off of your lug bolts. Put antiseize on your threads or whatever can save you this headache.

Thanks for feeling my pain, it certainly does suck. I found 6 solid one piece lug bolts today. Only need ten more. I will never use this type again. Anybody got some of those laying around???,,,,BB
