Lasershark ....….…it looks like all you need Is a large Allen head socket..

And.... You're right. I didn't even think about an allen head socket, especially that big. Sears didn't have them, well at least that large; 10mm is there biggest. Orielly of all places had what I needed!
Thanks for that!

4gfun, hope you have had a change in luck!
 
I ended up getting the Irwin type tool from Harbor Freight since I couldn't get the real deals locally. It was able to remove the broken sockets with that. I also used that tool that GSTWPSI mentioned. Worked perfect....only delay was having to grind each and every lugnut that it pulled with flat spot so that it didn't walk in the vice.

It wasn't horrible, but time consuming. Mission accomplished.

Yeah, it took me 3 times longer to remove the damn lug nut from the socket than it did getting it off initially. Glad you got them off.
