I-club member Colton. and I are swapping wheels and can't get some of the bolts off. anyone with a torque gun that can help, it'd be greatly appreciated.

tried some lube, got two of the wheels off colton's car. the other two are jammed. mine are stock so they are coming off pretty easily.

my address is 2128 armstrong dr. pleasanton, ca

thanks in advance

would have love to help you but im in san jose.

 

Just get a piece of metal pipe and slip it over the end of your lug-wrench... make a longer lever and they'll come off

 

just hope they aren't cross threaded

 

What he said, a breaker bar should have enough length to break a lug loose though.

 

God damn that would suck!

 

i can help you in the morning when i get off work.>let me know

 

I got a breaker bar you can use

 

We used a breaker bar. it stripped 2 lug nuts.... swapped 3 rims, couldn't get the 4th off.

epic fail day.

meeting up tomorrow at a shop to get the 2 lug nuts cut.

we were hopping an i-clubber with a torque gun could help us out but i'm sure a shop can get em cut.

 

colton had AAA so we called and the guy came over to see if he could get it off.

he used a hammer to put on a stripped bolt remover and scratched my rim. 4 spots where paint chipped off. i will forever hate AAA for the rest of my life. inexperienced and very rude. old cranky man was just useless.

 

Anybody know of a shop open on Sunday? Please let me know ASAP!

Thanks

 

damn, cant seem to find any. is there anybody that can cut lug nuts on here? without damaging the rim like the AAA guy.

 

good luck kevin. i'm no use with cars but if your computer breaks down you can let me know! lol

 

Kevin! Im trying to get this exhaust on right now haha. Its so late. Hit me up in the morning.

edit- any tips to make this thing fit? i keep getting leaks?

 

Wow man, u always somehow have car problems lol.

So... let me get this straight, u guys used a breaker bar and it stripped the lug? What kind of lug nuts are they, and why arent you using the right key/size mm? Its hard to strip them unless they are really torn up.

But give these ideas a try:

Spray lug with pb blaster.

If you use an impact wrench, tight it to break the rust first then loosen it.

Get a 1/2 inch wrench with the correct key/socket and impact it with a deadblow hammer, or big rubber hammer. If you dont mind using a metal hammer and possibly have nicks on your tools, then u can go that route.

I dont recommend heating the lug with a blow torch to try and get it out because it might damage your rims and the structural integrity of that heated area. Some are more affected than others, but dont take the risk.


All else fails................... break stud some how, and just replace it.
