RE: [a/s] Stuck wheel lug nuts on Aluminum wheels!
Hi Jerry;
The steel lugs may be bonded to the aluminum wheels, making removal a little
sticky. More likely, though, some well-meaning do-it-yourselfer has put
Locktite on the nuts/studs to prevent their coming loose. Try soaking the
nuts with a good penetrating oil and trying again with the impact wrench.
Alternatively, a long pipe on a Johnson bar and a six point socket may snap
the lugs loose, but be very careful if you choose this route.
If all else fails, a tire shop impact wrench will pack more punch than
yours.
