I've got an 89 Cutlass Ciera and I was trying to show my son (his car now)
the basics of how to change a flat tire. The wrench part end that fits over
the lug nut is pretty much stripped and just turns over the nut edges when I
use the ratchet piece.

Now what do I do? Can I find a replacement somewhere for this part? Does
anyone know the size of the lug nut so that maybe I can find/use a socket
wrench?

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!
Walter
