Remove any difficult lug nut. Swollen, rusted, corroded, seized, stuck, stubborn, rounded, stripped, destroyed, damaged, or overtightened nuts. If the outer cap on a two piece style lug nut swells, strips, or become separated, major difficulty in removal is encountered. Nuts can be removed at home, on the side of the road, and in the shop. Easy wheel stud replacement with a wheel stud installer tool. Twist socket demonstration. Stud drilling. Brute force and using a smaller socket to attempt to remove lug nuts all included. Several options to hopefully save the day.

Thank you so much! I ordered these extractors earlier as I cannot, for the life of me, get the wheel off of my 4 series. I've tried Wd-40, a galvanized steel pole as a breaker bar for my ratchet, and I was just about to attempt heat, (and probably light myself on fire, lol)!!! I've broken a socket and an extension so far and no luck. I recently took it for new brakes and rotors and they failed to replace the brake sensor so that's my current project. Thank you for suggesting the torque wrench and no heat! If these extractors aren't here soon, I'm going to attempt the smaller socket since I'm pretty sure they're stripped! Your video is extremely helpful! Thank you again!!

No problem glad to help! My goal is to avoid heat at all costs. There will be some damage to the wheel with heat no matter what- so i use it as the last method. Lug nuts and studs are such a pain sometimes. After extra leverage fails, i go for the twist sockets and usually those work for me 80% of the time. After that i drill in an attempt to save most all parts except the lug nut and lug stud 😀🔧

Thanks for the video. 3/4 drive wrench with the 1/2 drive adapter with GEARWRENCH Bolt Biter socket finally worked for me. My only modification to your solution was that I held the wrench, adapter, socket on and I need my wife to spin the handle with the extension (2-person job). I did break a 1/2 drive breaker bar first so the suggestion to upgrade to the 3/4 drive did the trick for me. I couldn't believe the size of the 3/4 drive but after I broke the 1/2 drive the suggest was welcomed. Thanks.

2017 Ford Escape. This is my first situation with swollen lug nuts so I've been researching and using trial and error. I ordered an impact driver from amazon but it was damaged. I'm hoping to get a driver that works as well as a good model for my situation. I'm also looking to get a torque wrench. Strange thing, 19.5mm fits 4 of the nuts but the top one still seems to big for that one but the 20mm seems too big.

Just want to say thank you. After watching your video I had a better understanding of what I needed to do. I purchased all I needed such as drill bits (glad I got 2), studs, stud install tool... I had the rest. Before trying this method I used everything I could imagine to try and undo what some pinhead messed up. It was at the body shop for a bit and they gunned on one wheel so friggin hard and for some reason all the nuts were swollen. I managed to get all off except one. I used your method and it worked pissah. I tried using a bolt extractor set from THINKWORK I purchased from Amazon for $33 bucks. That set worked so well that it snapped the lug off at the base so the only option I had left was to drill. I was impressed how well the extractor bit into the nut and didn't continue to round it off like every other attempt I made. Grabbed my Dewalt corded drill and went to town. Took me about an hour in my driveway to get the wheel off. Had I not watched your video, I most likely would have destroyed the rim with a torch first.

Had the most stubborn 17mm lug nut on a Mini. Owner stripped it a bit. Tried my Milwaukee impact, nut wouldn't budge (also tried a brief tightening), so I sprayed wth PB, heated (no damage), and tried the hammer the flanged nut with a socket to break wayyyy overtightened and rusted lug. Nope. Tried an impact driver with a 17mm extractor nut. Like you, broke 3/8" ratchet, breaker bar (Snap-on), and extractor socket with pipe-leverage. Had to try 3/8" because 17mm 1/2 drive was slipping and only then had a 3/8" 17mm and 16mm, and extractor (didn't break this extractor but it spun off. Didn't have all my tools (especially cobalt bits) so I had to admit defeat (1st time). Owner brought it to a shop and they got the lug off, changed the damaged tire but did not put a new lug back on that stud? I called and asked how they got it off but manager didn't know? Wasted 2 hours on this. Broke four tools (#4 was an impact stepdown adapter).

Can you tell me what type/brand of drill bits you used for the job? I have antitheft lug nuts on my Grand Caravan and I lost the key. I managed to remove 3 of them pretty easy with the bolt-bite tool but one is stuck and won't come out. I tried to jam the bolt bite socket so hard, it cracked. I started drilling as last resort and for me it's a very slow and frustrating process. I used a very small high speed steel drill bit and that one went through very easy. However, trying to enlarge the hole with larger drill bits is a pain in the butt. I estimate I have 2 more cm left to drill but it's gonna take me a few days at the pace it's going right now.

All of the methods should still work. There is a possibility of needing a wheel hub if damaged when drilling. The hub could also have the bolt seized in it once you drill far enough to release the wheel, making hub replacement also necessary. Basically you would need a new wheel bearing and hub assembly. But you should be able to save the wheel with the methods at the very least 😀🔧

Its worth a shot! Use what you have so far. Many times pounding on a smaller socket trick will work. If it doesn't work, usually the twist socket will still bite into whats left and work. I have more options available. I usually go straight for the twist sockets in most cases 😀🔧

If the smaller 11/16” socket won’t work and gets stuck on the lug nut, is there a way to get it off the car? I don’t see how you can get it off if it’s short like that. I did see in you video that it broke apart at one point however, but what if it just stays on? 2:45 Would removing it damage the lug nut enough that any further efforts would be harder?
@EasyFixShaun
@EasyFixShaun 11 ай бұрын
If the lug nut is impossible to get off, you don't have much to loose. Pounding it on gives it extra grip to hopefully remove it. If it doesn't work a long 18" 1/2" extension could be used to wiggle and force the socket off again. That is what I would usually do. If it works, a punch and vise or block of wood will likely be needed to pound the nut out of the socket 😃

I put some links in the description for the drill bit kit I use. Any high quality drill bit should work great if you don't have time to order. A drill bit sharpener can even make a lesser quality drill but work for the job. Although you may need to sharpen a few times along the way during the process😀🔧

Im not sure. I used a new drill bit. It was a cobalt brand bit. I put a link in the description fir the bits i used. Your stud may have a different metallurgy too. You should be able to drill out just about any stud though with a sharp but, but you may need to stop and sharpen it during the process. Sorry your having trouble. I would also say the two handed drill bit isn't needed. Its just what i had at the time that the larger drill bit would fit into. Any size drill should work just about. Its just a matter of bit fitment.

Usually the weight of the wheel will make it pretty much fall off the hub once 100% through the portion holding onto the nut.

I think i showed it in the video. It is 1 or 2 sizes less than the stud size. Undersizing will help to not hit the wheel and damage it. The wheel hole is just barely larger than the stud to fit over it. Could start small like 1/4" and work up larger sizes also as an option. Once the bit is 50% or more larger than the stud it will be significantly weakened and wiggling the wheel may even be able to break it and release the wheel 😀🔧

In that case I would go straight to drilling the stud method. I would probably loosen the other nuts that are good so that I could put some pressure on the one bad nut with the wheel stopping it from turning so that I can drill the nut. Might need some additional methods to stop the lug from spinning, but I would spend time trying to figure out how to do that. If it doesn't work the next step might be cutting off the lug in one way or another😃🔧

After seeing what happened at 2:45 I avoided using cheap short sockets of which I had many. I did also spray some WD-40 type lubricant on/around the nut the day before. I then pushed hard about 10 times and with a distinctive crack finally got it to move - it was stuck on real bad as though someone had welded it on. How the @#$? does this happen?

Excellent comment I'm glad you got it sorted out! Lug nuts seem to create this phenomenon frequently and I'm not sure why. Its more common on older cars so i think it's related to corrosion on the nuts/studs/wheels/or hubs. Or maybe it's all the dissimilar metals bolts together in That spot. Or maybe it's that the lug nuts are too tight. Or maybe all of these things. I have no idea 😂

That is a extremely difficult situation to save the wheel and all other components. Theres just no access to work with usually. I have had luck by using the longest sawsall blade i can find if the wheel is loose, has large spoke openings, and the stud can can been clearly seen. I have snaked it in a wheel just barely and cut a spinning stud with success and no damage. Most times you will need a new wheel in just about every other case though. That's a tough one and really sucks when it happens. Plan on having access to ordering another replacement wheel in mind for your repair. Sometimes when there are no options at all with that and the entire wheel is destroyed by cutting it to get to the studs for replacement/repairs. Hopefully this doesn't happen to you.

Sorry you are having trouble. Your Chrysler Lug nuts are very difficult in general when they get older and corroded. Sometimes replacement of all the lug nuts at the same time is easiest 🔧🔧

Once he said it was a Dodge at all made sense. I’m working with the same crap lugnuts on my Challenger. Love the car but dodge and their quality control is horrible

Some one overtightens them with Impact, tighten by hand, and pb blast them before install.

I agree with you except for the lubrication. The torque specifications are for no lubrication on the threads just like they arrive from the factory. 😃🔧🔧

That sucks. Been there so many times also. I wish working on vehicles was easier. But as they say "mankind made it- mankind can fix it". Just takes some time 😀🔧
