    wheel nuts stuck

    tried to take out 1 of my rear wheels today
    i have some altech 15s

    first nut came out fine then went to another and it was hard as rock
    i thought maybe it was like that since i haven't removed it in awhile
    so sprayed some wd40 on the nut and retried but same result,
    sprayed all 3 remaining nuts and none budged and in the process i sort off
    broke my nut wrench

    any ideas guys? tyty

    had the same experience, ended up taking it to local mechanic to get them loosen.
    hassle free

    you break it off, take the wheel off and replace the wheel stud

    should loosening the nuts at a mechanic be free?
    or will most charge you?

    a breaker bar? or an air tool?

    Though the mechanic doesn't charge you, go get him a bottle of VB.
    Much more sincere than just a 'Thank you'

    a air powered tool would be the best result, quick and easy.

    LOL

    Its a result from over tightening. You must have gone pass the torque specs prob by stepping on it to tighten to this point.

    Its easy to remove. Use a big breaker bar, and ur foot if you have to. If you use ur body weight make sure that you have the breaker on a angle of about 45 degree with the handle end pointing to the floor to avoid stress on your stud.

    But as a result of over tightening, expect your stud to snap in future.

    next time just screw the nut on till it stops then give it another 1/4 turn thats enough to secure it.
