Hundreds of videos on each style. Me, I'd probably quickly weld a short length of pipe on each one from the inside with a cheap arc welder, use a pipe wrench if the wheel isn't too deep, and throw the things away.

My buddy told me, and I confirmed that a deep socket won't work. A deep socket will break. The Sears that I went to only had 3 normal sockets. I tried a deep well and it cracked like my buddy said.
I also tried to get the socket off of the lug once it was pounded on and wasn't able to.
In my case the locking lug was round and somewhat spherical. It does, I'm sure depend upon the locking lug nut style/design.
