do you have the stock lugwrench? the proper way to remove is to take the pointy end insert under lip of cap them take one hand on the shank and other hand on the lugnut und and rotate

I had some that were so tight I had to use a slide hammer with a L shaped piece of steel on the end, it would pop them off with no damage.
