Default Extended Wheel Studs Help

Dumb question, but I've never had to deal with this before.

My car has extended wheel studs on the rear with open ended lug nuts holding the wheel on. What do I need to buy to get them off? I guess I'm looking for the name of the tool so when I go to buy it, I don't have to sit there and explain what I'm looking for.

to get them off i use a bfh and to install them you can get the tool from matco tools or and other tools dealer. orr get some big washers and a lug nut and use that to install them.

To get the lugs off? A deep well socket...

To get the studs off? A hammer/sledge...

To install? A washer and a lug nut and impact...

I'm still interested in which one you were trying to accomplish, just curiosity.

I needed a deep well socket. I have extended wheel studs on the back, and I was thinking about it the other day, and thought "How am I gonna get the wheels off?"

I know its a little silly, but I've never had a car with extended studs on it, so I wasn't sure what would fit on there, I went and bought a 3/4" with 1/2" drive socket for 8 god damn dollars and a good breaker bar.
