i talked to chad, take a nut just a high grade nut put it on top of the lock nut and weld it to the top of the lock nut. then put the socket on the nut you welded to it and just unbolt it.... i did that before works perfect.

1st off, I want to thank Joseph for going above and beyond to help me out Truly a stand up guy! I want to thank everyone else for chiming in as well.

Thanks again everyone!

Chad

I just spoke to McGard's distributor about a oversize 8-spline socket. I ordered it and just wish this will be solved.
