OK, SO TODAY I DECIDED TO WORK ON ONE OF MY CARS, AND I TOOK ALL OF THE WHEELS OFF, IT HAS 18 INCH WHEELS WHICH ARE HELD ON WITH INVERTED LUGS, LOW AND BEHOLD, AFTER 1 AND A HALF YEARS OF IT SITTING IN MY GARAGE INOPERABLE SOME OF THE INVERTED LUG NUTS HAD BECOME RUSTY...!

SO LETS SEE, I GOT THREE OF THE WHEELS OFF WITH RELATIVE EASE, THE WHEN I GOT TO THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL, I GOT 2 LUGS OFF AND THAT WAS ALRIGHT, THEN WHEN I TRIED TO GET THE LAST 2 OFF, FORGET IT, THEY WERE NICKEL PLATED LUG NUTS, BUT HAD RUSTED THROUGH UNDERNEATH THE PRETTY NICKEL PLATING, SO NOW IM FUCT!

I JUST TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC I KNOW, AND HE TRIED A FEW THINGS TO GET THE LUG NUTS OFF AND THOSE TWO LUG NUTS JUST DIDNT COME OFF, IM SO ANNOYED RIGHT NOW, BUT I CANT GET THAT FRONT WHEEL OFF TO CHANGE MY ROTORS AND PADS, AND ITS NOT LIKE I WANT TO JUST DO ONE SIDE OF THEM...SO I DONT KNOW...I NEED SUGGESTIONS PLEASE...CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS, I NEED TO GET THOSE TWO LUG NUTS OFF SO I CAN ORDER SOME BRAND NEW ONES AND THEN AT LEAST CHANGE MY BRAKES!!!!! THANKS GUYS IN ADVANCE! IT DOESNT SOUND SERIOUS BUT THE MECHANIC EXHAUSTED AND POSSIBILITY BECAUSE HE DOESNT USUALLY WORK WITH LUGS THAT ARE INVERTED, SO PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

 

did the mechanic try torching them? did he soak in some Break-Free lub (superior to WD-40).

Also, please turn off your caps...it's like your yelling.

 

confucious say, "don't type in all caps"

try soaking them in come PB blaster for a few hours, that stuff works wonders, did he try tapping them out?

 

it seems as if the mechanic, after so many tries, has completely stripped the inside of the lug nut, so i dont know, i think i might buy a few drill bits, small, medium and a large one, torch the area thats gonna be drilled, and the drill on through the stud, then the bolt will come off and i'll just have to get new inverted lugs, i think thats the only solution so far, one question, torching the lug nuts, will that damage the rim? i have an 18 on there with a hyper-silver finish...

 

pb blaster and impact the bitch...also, try tightening first and then loosening...

 

ok, this is what im gonna suggest to my mechanic tomorrow when i see or speak to him, im gonna tell him that he needs to heat the lug nuts a bit, then im gonna go buy a few drill bits in varying sizes from small to large, so he can start drilling into the stud with a small hole, and as each bit burns out he still makes progress, and eventually if it will crack the lugnut open and the wheel will come off, i will buy a few new studs which should do the trick! ! !

 

I went there this morning with 20 dollars worth of metal drilling bits, the guy first starts off telling me that i cant do that because it will damage the rim, which of course it wont, an inverted lub surrounds the drill bit when its digging so damage to rim is impossible and if any extremely minimal and undetectable, then after ten minutes he changed it up to tell me that there is no room for the stud to move and this and that, saying that if i drilled the stud it wont work, i was just getting mad and was about to slap homeboy for stripping my lug nuts to begin with, but he is friends with my parents so he gets away with it this time, ******* guy...what to do now...****, i need to find another mechanic or tire place that will do this for me...

 

There is only one solution that comes to mind. I know that they make reversing drill bits. If you can find one big enough for those lugnuts, and you presoak them for at least a day or two, you might be able to get those off. When I say presoak, I mean shoot PB blaster on them at least 20 times in one day, allowing one full day for them to soak.

Other than that, sorry, I'm out of ideas.

 

have him break them off since ur changing rotors and pad and just replace the studs......

 

will breaking them off hurt the rim? and how would he go about doing all that? any idea? well lets see, PB blaster, i need to look into that, thats first, then a reversing drill bit, alright, lets see, it has to be a little bigger than the actual inside of the inverted lug for it to be effective right? what i was thinking about doing is using a cobalt or zirconium drill but which will drill through metal, and just destroy the lug nut, and then change the studs (which ive bought already), good idea? he is changing the rotors and the pads anyway...>?
