NEED HELP!! LUG PROBLEM

What is the best way to break loose stubborn lug nuts. I feel like something is going to break with anymore pressure. Also what is the correct torque specs for ITR wheels. Thanks

I only tighened them to 70lbs and a couple of the damn things won't move! Unfortunatly I am living in the cave man era and only have hand tools. Would some penatrating oil help?

Re: NEED HELP!! LUG PROBLEM (R0476)

Step on it? Man it already sounds like I'm going to break a stud or strip a lug. How much can it take - 165lbs of human power?

Perhaps when they were tightened before, the problemsome lug was crossthreaded and hence the difficulty of removing it....

Re: NEED HELP!! LUG PROBLEM (Smurf)

Thanks for the quick responses guys. Seems like the penatrating oil is doing the trick ever so slowly. Just broke loose a few more, only about 4 or five left.

Re: NEED HELP!! LUG PROBLEM (darudeboi)

Thanks for all the help. Finally got the last one to break loose this morning. I am worried about this happening again. I am using the black Rays lightweight lugs and TE-37's. Should I grease the stud and lug before I put them back on? Any idea's?

Re: NEED HELP!! LUG PROBLEM (Wraith)

yeah put some anti sieze on the threads before you put them back on..will prevent corrosion as well as getting a more even torque

Re: NEED HELP!! LUG PROBLEM (EPGONZALEZ)

If you put on any sort of penetrating oil, make damn sure you clean it off!!! Use brake cleaner. I don't like to use anything on the studs. Some people put a LITTLE anti-seize on. Make sure none of it comes into contact with the part of the lugnut that actually touches the wheel.
