  • Stripped lug, tire wont come off with air chizel

    Well like the title says, I have 3 off but the 4th rims has ONE lug holding it on and holding me back from selling them. PB Blaster doesn't work on it. HELP!!!!

    try a grinder. grind them so you can get a socket on them, then get a big *** breaker bar and go at it.

                            Ah theres sockets that kinda look like an inverted easy out exactly for your situation. You hammer it on some and it kinda threads in the opposite direction to hook onto the nut so it just gets tighter to the nut as you turn it. I'll see if I can't find them somewhere online to show you.

                            Here ya go.

                              Yup! Just bought a set of those for the same problem, worked very nice! I've since in three days used them over and over!
