i cant get some of my lug nuts off and its really pissing me off...i used PB blaster and a pipe extension and it still wouldnt move...it twists but the lug nut isnt going anywhere...its not really stripped but it just turns until the bit comes off...any suggestions??? im thinking about taking it somewhere but id really rather save the money

 

You cant do anything now but to try to break that stud and lug now. keep spinning until it breaks off.

 

would air tools or anything make a difference?

 

i would hate to hear when you twist it off, you twist the stud too. read me post up in the first page.

i read your post, that is basically what i was going to recomend. pound a socket on there, and get them off. nothing really you can do. i took my car to a tire shop i know when my key for my lugs go stolen, and they actually destroyed their sockets for me getting them off, and didnt charge me anything. (i gave them $ anyway on the side since i kinda knew them)

 

If its a 12mm hex or allen key that your using and the nut is stripped, you can try spot welding the bit or key to the nut if you have the equipment then just grind the weld off. That's what i had to do to one of mines.

 

Take bout two hours one day go down to your parts store and buy some new studs and lugs. bust the old studs and put the new ones in ive had to do it a couple times actually

 

i would think that trying to hammer a smaller socket into the lug nut would break the socket...so it wouldnt?? how much are new studs and lug nuts because i might have to resolve to that

 

No, not put the socket in it, you pounds a socket that is a not the exact fit of your lug, a little smaller than whatever fits over it, and you pound that onto the lug, then you take both off. You may need a couple of the sockets to compelte doing this as they can crack after pounding them onto multiple lug nuts.

 

it fits well onto a 17mm socket right now soo i guess ill try a 16mm and get a few extra in case

 

yeah, that is what id recomend doing. hope you get them off, i know the feeling of it.
