I've got three of my four wheels changed, but all four lug bolts on the last wheel are just plain stuck. I've been spraying them with liquid wrench for the last 2 weeks. I've tried easing them off using an 18" breaker bar, extending it with a 30" galvanized pipe. None of them will budge.
Can I force them off with the breaker bar, or will I snap the heads off? Should I apply heat? Help. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

No impact wrench handy at the moment.
Front passenger side tire. I had issues with the steering moving last week, but it's a non-issue today. The ones on the other tires were really tight, but I was eventually able to ease them off without resorting to anything drastic. These ones though, are friggin' tight. I can actually rock the car back and forth trying to remove them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) |
