Lug Nuts

[badinfluenceRS]

Any tips for getting some lugs off that seem to be stuck on?

wouldn't come off w/ impact, so then I got the longest wrench I could find but that did not work either.

I've been spraying them with penetrating oil the last 24hrs and they still will not budge.

Anymore tips?

Re: Lug Nuts

Something similar happened to me, I took the car to a tire dealer and they popped the lugs loose for me for free. You could try that.

Air tools if you have them? If not, slap a license plate on that thing, and drive it up to Discount Tire or something. Just don't get pulled over. :)

I already tried the Impact (air tool ;))

I would be in deep **** if I get pulled over...I just cant think of any other things to try

Get a 2 foot breaker bar with a deep well socket and dont pull but give hard multiple jerks, if that doesn't work try putting a 4 way on the breaker bar for more leverage. g/l:tup:

I already tried a 2ft bar wrench w/ 6 str socket

that didn't work so I put a 4ft pipe on the wrench on the bar wrench for more leverage and nothing!

Re: Lug Nuts

a 4ft pipe would not work ?? are these cross threaded? dumb but are you turning the right way ?

Re: Lug Nuts

kick your headlight. as a reaction due to weight distribution, lug nuts will come loose
:D

Righty tighty, lefty loosey!

I did stand and jump on the bar, got a nice bruise on my shin too!

Any ideas? These lugs are on there good!

My buddy is coming to help sometime, I know if you tap the wrench-head (right where lug is) while loosening the lug it will help sometimes, but that takes two people and I'm out of ideas!

Re: Lug Nuts

heat them up?

Re: Lug Nuts

You could always grind down the back of the stud on the hub and tap the whole stud and lug out together from the back side( in the worse case). You will need another wheel stud though.

If I did that I would need 13 studs so no

Re: Lug Nuts

i had a nut on a shock mount that was stuck on really tight, i tried everything. one thing i found that sometimes works is. take a torch and heat the bolt up NOT red hot but nice and warm and take an air duster and spray it upside down on the bolt so liquid CO2 sprays out, sometimes the rapid expantion to contraction will loosen it up enough to get it off. even if you do get those nuts off, i would recomend you replace the studs, chances are if they are on that tight they are probably over stressed and weak. my sister had a grand am, that had studs that were over stressed and all 5 snaped at the same time while driving down the free way.... bye bye wheel. luckilly nothing bad happened besides loosing a wheel and ruining a rotor. its better safe than sorry
