    any tips removing wheel nuts that wont come out

    As in title got a wheel nut that doesnt want to come off

    First tried the rattle gun (one nut came off)
    Then tried my socket tool (not that but wtevers in the boot of the car)
    with some spare exhaust piping for leverage (got other 2 nuts off)

    With the fourth one sprayed wd40 and kept trying with the tool and ended up breaking the head of it off

    The nut is the hex type

    any help would be appreciated

    This is why all wheels nuts should be tightened by hand using torque wrench, good luck buddy and if you break anything take the car back to the kunt who tightened the nuts in the first place and make them pay!

    Heat the wheel nuts with a heat gun or hairdryer if you don't have the latter. The nut should expand faster than the wheel studs and make it easier to undo.

    Once you have removed all of the wheel nuts you should look into replacing your wheel studs, they may have been stretched or damaged as a result of over tightening

    I usually tighten them to as tight as I can turn the thing with the cross tyre iron thingo...
    Did you try a breaker bar with the length of pipe? Breaker bars are made for higher stress work afaik... so try that.

    Lub it up wit wd40! and use ur weight on the cross bar. ( like step on it and use ur legg muscles)

    i would buy a cheap hex key and use a metal bar thru it or a bigg ass wrech

    I think the heat gun recommendation might actually work careful not to melt the paint on the wheel

    need to see this nut.

    post picture please.

    is the hex damaged?

    there is nothing on a car a 1.5 meter long breaker bar can't take care of.

    if hex is damaged, i recommend bolt grips.
