I am changing out my wheel cylinder...the lug nuts on my 1987 GMC sierra are ALL stripped on this drivers side. The lugs on this truck are about 5 different kinds. It has been in the family for a while..haha

I am new to mechanics and have never ran into this problem. I believe they are all chrome capped lugs. I do not want to replace them with the same. So first can you help me get them off so I can finish the job...and pray i do not snap the brake line...and 2...where can i find a good set of lugs (original or not) that I can get a whole set of them to replace all of them.

Thanks again for the help!
