Most of the tire shops have idiots using impact wrenches improperly and then later when you have a flat your stuck with the problem.
100% true that’s why I remove the tire in the next parking lot of a tire shop and roll the tires to the shop have them do their thing with the wheels and tires and roll them back to where I parked and install them by hand myself.
Good advice, but I did all that even with the extension bar and at the end, it snapped all 5 Lugnuts people that use an air impact in these tire shops need to be put in jail
Use the oxy/acetyl torch. It will come loose easily with no breakage.
@@jerrelhintergardt6898 we tried all that, and nothing worked at all. We had to cut off the rim and remove the knuckle with the brake caliper and rotor on it.
When you need to turn the lug nut counterclockwise at 10 million psi, then you just have to cut off the rim
@@Ben-Hawy wow. Now that's was really stuck. I've never failed with a cutting torch. Would have enjoyed lending you a hand.
@@jerrelhintergardt6898 after I cut the rim to get it off and removed the knuckle with brake caliper and rotor, now the new rim goes on with new Lugnuts and I made sure to use anti-seize on all the lug nuts 🔩 , next time they try to use an air tool at 700 psi I can still take it off
@@Ben-Hawy that's scary, I just broke an impact socket and a breaker bar. I'll try heat tomorrow, but this is definitely from them being put on with an air wrench. pisses me off, not the first time, between that and engineering things so we can't fix them.
I bought a 36" breaker bar and a set of Chromoly 500nm max tourque wheel sockets. I always undo the wheel nuts after a mechanic or tyre fitter has been near them. I apply some copper grease and tighten them to spec and check them on a regular basis.
Great work. Thanks for being very Exact and Very Thorough with the Explanation. I'm in the same situation with a Chrysler Pacifica 2007 . And yes I will try this method real soon . Thanks for Everything
Dude this helped a lot thank you so much ! I couldn’t get the lugs off of my 16’ mustang but with this tactic they came off like a dream ! Thanks again 🤙🏼
Awesome, glad it helped!
Thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪 this worked for me. 👍
Did the same for my 2015 Jetta. PB blaster, breaker bar and a specialty socket for lugs. 20 mins to do one tire.
Whoever tightened those lugs that tight had something personal against you 💀
Thanks. Tried all of this. My breaker bar is too small. Headed to the store! Not going to buy an impact wrench. UGH! What a day. 😂😂😂 thanks again.
Had one on the road that was hard. Put star wrench and jacked car up. Used weight of car to break it loose.
Hardest one ever were lug bolts on. VW van. Be very careful but heat those with an oxy/acetyl cutting torch until cherry red. I guarantee it'll come loose.
THANK YOU!!! Using lubricating oil now...will try your suggestions tommorow...
Thank you so much for your video unfortunately I should have been watching the guy before he just rounded off some of my lugnuts now I'm trying to use a file to get some type of shape back into the lugnuts to try and get them off. For now on no more "buddies " helping me when I have men like you on utube thank you again great video yep
Excellent demonstration.
Breaker bar is the safest
that much torque can damage your wheel studs
Fantastic. You just saved me from thinking my compressor and gun were faulty
The shop tightens them too much on purpose worldwide so you have to go back to them
Great video Pal 👍🏻, best wishes from Edinburgh Scotland 🏴.
Try to tighten the lug nut with an impact wrench then reverse wrench may break it loose... Also use a dead blow hammer hit the socket hoping to break it loose.
Thank you so much from Ethiopia
Helps a lot bro
You are awesome! Thank you so much for the information!!
Use a little heat…..Works every time. 👌
The local Honda dealer replaced our tires we went back to have them rotated one lug would not come off they called me saying if the stud breaks it will cost $500 because the whole hub will have to be replaced. Some real bullshit
Typical dealerships. That’s why do my own work. You can replace your own hub for about $40 if you buy aftermarket parts and diy
@@PhillipsVision Seems they break it on purpose to just charge 500$
Badass, that's how my neighbor did it, when the AAA guy couldn't.
Ya these breaker bars are powerful. Last week I tried to do my rear brakes on a smart fortwo - which uses 15mm Hex headed bolts as opposed to lug nuts. I didn't know it could be done but i snapped the damn head off a bolt. Of course I only figured this out after breaking it that it was a bolt. Should have lubed it - went caveman - learned my lesson.
It didn't sound like the oil penetrated when it popped loose. The reason being, a tapered lug nut is like a flared fitting as on a hydraulic system. The tighter the nut, the more it seals. On that acorn nut no oil made it to the threads or into the flare.
Tapered lug nuts??? What the hell!? Why would they do that?? lol I am not mechanic and I have been having a hell of a time with mine. Specs say 19mm but that doesnt even go on half way. So Im picking up a 20mm tomorrow. Those folks really need to be punished for that kind of negligence!
I've always heard it "muh LIB duh num". Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the advice youtube man
Put socket on and pound on it with a 3 lb. sledge, vibration will break bond. Better than breaking tools.
So do I in vest a break bar and pipe or even bother with an impact gun ?
i was able to get only one lol
i am going taking to the shop tomorrow and ask them not to do that again 😅
next day
they almost could not take them off 🤣
One of my friend has the same problem, at shop they tried but one of them break it. What should you prefer to do it?
At major tire centers they use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts
Get a nice 3/4 impact with a 1/2" hose to deliver full air flow.
Thanks from Solomon islands.mine is worned out ..I think harder than that
I'm struggling we dun bent the damn 4 way and we can't get it to budge. I don't got road side. And I'm out of state stock on the side of the road
We have one that has broken three high end tools.. still won’t release.. we’ve used the wd40 and everything.. help!!
Mines won’t come off because the lug nuts haven’t been taking off in a long time so the car just been sitting outside in the rain and stuff like that
I've got one that is stuck halfway off it only wiggles 1/4 turn left or 1/4 turn right. can't get it with a breaker bar or impact
May have to drill it out and replace the stud
Breaker bar don't work for me. Heat and impact wrench and wd 40 does
Is there an actual torque spec for lugs? My tire guy puts them on with like a gorilla impact, so if you're on the side of the road with a flat, your screwed. AAA shows up bitches about it and tows you
@@peteganze6416 Shoukd be about 85 lbs-ft unless manufacturer says otherwise
Awesome thanks.
You should put anti-seize on these log nuts from now on
My problem right now
Pro Info-
Yeah mine still won’t come off 😅
add a 6 foot snipe to that breaker bar , I will need it because I'm 72 and cant get up .
Why do breaker bars work better than impact wrenches with ridiculous torque? Don’t beat me up please I know nothing about physics lol
Call breaker bar because it breaks your back😂
Packs a punch for its size
wax worked here
I tried this but ended up breaking the stud that holds the wheel in place 🤦♂️
WHAT YEAR is that Lamb-chop Countach??? … guessin’ ‘87-‘89..???
1986
@@PhillipsVision Dammit! I was literally thinkin’ it MIGHT be an ‘86 as it does look exactly like that year’s Countach but, I was too late and I would’ve been right. Is it YOURS?
@@DavidsVoices7399 yes, it’s a replica I’m restoring on my TH-cam channel. It was pretty bad off when I got it.
Just broke the lug nut.
good t3chnique but uses a lot of tools. when on the road you don't have those. What i do is use the car's weight to slowly loosen it by lifting the wrench with your jack.
I tried that today and my truck ones started to lift my crew cab truck. Need to use a torch. Tomorrow
I broke a lug nut stud by jumping on the wrench
That's really stuck on there.
Over torqued by the tire shop
i broke two stud on my corolla hatch with bar NO NOT DO THIS
I got an old bus with ten lugs i cants get off.
Kia has weak studs and cheap lugs
I did all all that prior to the video, still stuck
You’ll need to drill out the stud so you can break the nut off. Once done you’ll need to replace the stud
@@PhillipsVision I can snap them all off by hand. Does drilling them do less damage or does it just make them easier to snap off?
@@MLEB723 if you can remove them without drilling, do that. Also check the studs to make sure they are not damaged
They have emergency lug nut remover kits. It looks like a socket. You would have to replace the lug nut because it creastes its own pattern to pry off the lug nut
I really don't get the point of this video what you showed us everybody knows
I didn’t know
So, gary....do you really know everything....or do you just think you do?
I did not knew, and did not worked for me. but probably very long leverage will do the case, where can I get the steel pipe?
Why did you watch it then??? I googled it because I needed to know what to do. 😒
The worst thing is that I did this to myself… 🥹 Tightened thise nuts with an impact gun and didn’t drive my car for a year since then… All nuts are completely seized.. I soaked them in some penetrating oil, I will try again tomorrow…
Use a torch.
@@nopoohfan7112 Thanks for the tip, but torch would ruing my alloy wheels.. However, the next day after I soaked the nuts, I was able to unscrew them using a long wrench. All good now! Never tightening again without a torque wrench, that's for sure!
You were very helpful
👍
