any tips removing wheel nuts that wont come out

[Bludger]

worse case = dremal


but breaker bar will do it easy.

I think everyone is missing the point here but I was under the impression OP has the sort of wheels nuts which require you to insert a HEX key inside the wheel nut to remove it, and the weakest link in this equation is the hex key which OP says he's already broken by putting excessive force on it using the wheel brace supplied in the boot... Using a bigger breaker bar will be no good if all he does is keep snapping hex keys...

If thats the case then he should buy a hex key that has a 1/2" fitting to go on the end of the breaker bar

I would say horrible move.
Mostly because the wheel is not on the ground, so it'll spin freely... unless it's in gear, which I imagine isn't very good for the gearbox... I don't know if it's bad for it, I just like to think it's bad for it. Handbrake, eh. (towards the quote you quoted I mean... just realised that as I went to post this... derp)

So yeah, as I said earlier, get a 1/2" breaker bar, get the socket size you need, put it on there, get a huge goddamn piece of pole, wd40 if you must, and pull or push on the bloody pipe. It SHOULD undo it. If not, things have gone sideways, and I'm stumped.

doubt it, considering the engine, especially the d15b will put massive amounts of torque through the gearbox.

thats true, i find tht keeping the car on the ground whilst initially cracking the bolts is best. then jack it up to remove the nuts, this way you prevent soo much pressure to be placed on the stud to the rim.

definately confusion here
the wheel nut and the hex key are fine
what broke was the wheel removal tool (wheel brace) that was holding the hex key
hence why i havent tried doing this again
however long pole i get, how much i strenght i put in
the wheel brace couldnt handle it
after looking online damn long breaker bars are pricey lol
so thinkn of other methods
etc freezing but i dont understand the basics of it

Whats your reason for taking the wheel off?
If you dont have the proper tools to do it at home take it to a tyre place for a tyre rotation. It will cost f all and they will free up the pesky nut and you can just do whatever you want with it at home.

btw not for a honda (thought notsure which manufacture wheel brace i broke)
i would if i could
but cant take it anywhere as its a project car (front ends currently off), no rego
reason for taking it off is that the rim needs to go with another car (atm that car has 3 wheels n spare on it)

Buy one of the X type wheelbraces from supercheap, they were on sale a couple weeks ago for $7, then stand on it as previously said, get a fob mate over as previously said, then use the pimpin wheel brace in your daily.
