Re: Tips/Tricks on removing stuck front lug nuts
I think the stud heads are square ?? and sunk into the hub so don't think it would spin.
As for impacts it depends. My 18 volt dewalt is like 375 ft lbs. My pneumatic is pushing 550 .. Anywho.. At this point I would take the center cap off, remove the hub and wheel and take it to a garage that has an impact.. It will either sheer them off, destroy the hub or come loose.. |

Re: Tips/Tricks on removing stuck front lug nuts
You could try P B Blaster, spray them a couple times a day for a few days. Sounds to me like someone put red loctight on the wheel studs, are they loose after the first snap or are they hard to unscrew all the way.
Also try to tighten a slight amount before you try and remove, do this a few times on each stud to keep from messing up the threads. There could be a ton of reasons but you should be able to tell what the problem was when they come off. Always use anti-seize before you reinstall. Wish you luck!!!!!! |

Sometimes heat can help loosen stubborn nuts.

Rent or borrow an impact wrench. They should come off with that.

Re: Tips/Tricks on removing stuck front lug nuts
Hi! These are all good answers I like Kroil better then PB Blaster and as a last resort there's always the Blue wrench as said above. Yes to impacts to remove I have elect. and air, both will snap the lugs off or strip the threads if not careful. Use ante seize compound when installing Good luck to you.

Re: Tips/Tricks on removing stuck front lug nuts
I'm not sure how those wheel clamp boots work, but if it did, you could remove the wheels, then keep the boot as an anti-theft device.
