Lug nuts will not come off

BoS3 · Feb 25, 2021

For the last two days I've been trying to change the brakes on my 98 p38. I'm using an impact along with PB blaster with little effect. I've also bent an extension using my 1/2 inch ratchet. Does anyone know an easier way without a torch?

Go to your local tyre/garage and get them to loosen them for you.

A good long 1/2 drive breaker bar with a impact socket should be more than adequate,
Putting the socket on to the wheel nut / lug nut and then using a club/ Lump hammer
And strike the socket firmly will often loosen the taper on the nut,

Hi there and welcome!
If you need a large breaker bar or a professional gun, i would suggest they have been done up far too tight to the point of stretching/weakening.

Welcome to the forum

As said have been over tightened, garages often do this in my experience. Sometimes a good breaker bar, impact socket and piece of scaffolding post or similar does the trick. THEN you tighten them back up

Lug nuts will not come off

Has anyone else had trouble removing lug nuts?

Oiling while using impact is not working

Two days, two times charging impact battery
