Hey what's up. I noticed my wheel shaking violently at 55mph+ speeds. So I try and tighten my lugs on my right front wheel and it seems that one of the lugs will neither tighten or loosen and come off. what do I need to do to get this bitch off? thanks

 

what are you using to take it off a impact wrench or a hand wrench? try a breaker bar with a hand wrench.

 

like it just keeps spinning? or u just cant get it to budge?

 

it just spins doesnt go farther off or on... im using a lug wrench...

 

Sounds like its stripped. I would try to get a hold of it with vise grips and pull while turning, before doing anything else.

 

its so close, wow. Ive been taking robo-grip to it and its so loose that i can twist it with my fingers and even move it up and down with them... but it still wont come off... any got any more suggestions?

 

is the stud loose from the hub?

 

newp...

 

alright...I was thinking if it was to just slap some jb weld on there...but thats pointless for this

All I can think of for you can do is just keep playing w/ the vice grips...

 

thanks man... i appreciate your help and anyones help!
imma tryin, trust me

 

what kinda wheels

may be able to torch it without hurting them......


get and impact and something to pry against it.......may just HAVE to hurt the wheel some (scratch) but prying while turning will work if you pull and turn hard/fast enough

 

Just make sure that you don't brake the ''splines'' in the hub so that when you go to seat another wheel stud it wheel stay.

I made the mistake of ruining the splines in the hub and had to replace it.

Goodluck bro

!!!

 

*update* I've gotten so desperate to get this lug nut off I've started to offer $ to people if they can get it... my hands are way to bruised to try anymore

 

I say hammer.

 

just cut if off... have you seen those rotary tools that have a little circular saw on them? yea well try that and see if it works!

 

really sounds like te stud came out of the hub.

and that sounds really shitty. are they expensive rims?

 

take the other lugs off so you can seperate the wheel from the hub enough to get a hack saw in there and cut the bolt off thats giving you the troubles and replace it with a new stud and nut, THERE YOU GO FRICKEN EASY- i dont understand why ppl allways have to make things so damned hard........

 

I like your thinking. but if they are chrome just cut the rim.

 

*update* IT IS OFF! Wow, that took 2hrs of work (pulling,twisting, and swearing with the robogrip) and I had 7 people try it (offerd $10 for the person that got it off) Thanks a lot for the help guys! Greatly appreciated!

 

glad you got it fixed.

Did you replace it?

Where the ''splines'' in the hub ruined?

 

well, im pretty sure all i need is the stud rethreaded or just buy a new one and press it on
