Stupid Wheel Nuts

[180sxdrifterj]

Driving back from a cruise lastnight, i popped a tyre.. dont know how or why, but the tyre got completely derailed from the rim. so im like yeah ok, whatever, got the spare in the back..

went to go and undo the nuts, but couldnt because the idiot at the tyre shop did them up way too tight with the rattle gun. now my car is stuck over the eastside and i have no way of getting it anywhere....

who knows of a mobile mechanic or someone who can take them off? these nuts are f**king tight as a nuns.... well you know how it goes :lol:

any help would be appreciated;

might even get it towed down the street a bit further to a mechanic but dont like my chances because there is no way my rim would last...

Just get a long hollow piece of pipe. It will give you more leverage to crack the nut dude.

The more leverage you have, and easier it will be to take off the nuts due to some sort of physics that i wont try explain

I used to carry a little extension for my crowbar thingy aswell just incase that happens

hmmmm a breaker bar hey.. never really thought of that as i was in a rush earlier...

but knowing these mechanics with their rattle guns and how tight they can make the nuts, what are the chances of geting the bitch off? lol

i would rather leave my house in dande now, and head over to where it is and get it ready to drive home tomorrow once my girl comes and gets me :S

yeah get a breaker bar

also jack the car up a tiny bit

just enough to get the wheel off the air

it will take some pressure of the wheel and nuts so it will be easier to undo

get a nice big breaker bar, a nice long pole.. longer the better and i also suggest thake either a couple of normal sockets and or an impact socket!

Torque = Force x Distance

Therefore increase the distance (with a breaker bar) to increase the torque

Who ever thought high school knowledge would come in handy lol

I hope you don't have those cheap shitty type nuts. You don't want your nuts to be stuck on there forever!
