darn tuner lug nuts...after I took it off one of my front hub brake disc bolt got loose. Now I couldn't take off the lug nuts from the bolt because it just keeps spinning together with the lug nut.

I think it was loose in the front hub already. Never had this problem with the OEM lug nuts. I just used it temporarily now it gave me a problem. I was using gorilla chrome tuner lug nuts and they are not good quality I think.

Is there an easier way I can take this out? I can't take out the rims because the lug nuts is stuck and won't come out. Looks like I need to replace the front hub but first I need to take out this lug nut.

Any ideas guys? thanks...

 

Had this happen to a customer car before. It was an oem lug but somehow over time the lug just stripped and bored the hub. Anyway to take it off was more then a bitch ever, i just broke it off completely and replaced it (welded it on so it wouldnt move ever). I recommend doing that.

If you want however try to get it out lift the car and go behind the wheel, take off the caliper (provided you have 15inch wheel or bigger) and move it to the side, then you have access to the back lug. Grab some vise grips and try to grab it on tight and have someone try to break it loose. Good luck.

 

thanks for the info...

however, i think the stud/bolt is the one loose from the front hub. can i access this out from the back? It just keeps spinning the bolt together with the lug nuts so I am not sure if I can put a grip on the back....

i have 14" hx wheels though...
