one thing after another. get the drivers side breaks on and put the wheel on. get to last lug crank it dont and i knew i ****ed up and grabed a bad lug. (stripped) and of course. ****ing stiped the stud! lug wont come off. i put a huge damn nick in the paint because i was frustrated and now im just pissed. time to call it a night.

any tips how to get it off? i put pressure behide it but it dose nothing

Yes... You beat on a 12 point socket that is slightly smaller then the lug.

It will 100% work. I know this because when i took my centercaps off my 4lug rims i saw a wheel lock. Those things are totally smooth. I beat a socket on, and boom, i was able to get them off. I ruined 4 sockets but thats ok

Also, if you read my progress thread at all, you'd see that i had to custom make all new hardlines for the rear brakes. They are very simple however your rear is in already and that will make the bending a bit more difficult, but it can still be done rather easily. Good luck buddy and keep us updated on teh progress

If that bad nut is sitting on the end of the stud, why dont you beat the living **** out of it with a mini sledge or something... Wouldnt that force it off the end? Otherwise, I would use a cut off wheel on it too. My damn dremel with reinforced cutting wheels has paid for itself 100 times with **** like that. Ive cut my exhaust, battery cables from the relocation, a nut that was rusted on my motorcycle, etc. Good luck with it, let us know how you get it off. (The sledge might help you get some aggression out too)

Try gravity bleeding Ryan. The way you do that is get the car up on jackstands, take off the wheels, remove the cover of the master cylinder and make sure it's full. Start at the right rear wheel and just open the bleeder screw until fluid runs out. Close it, go to the left rear, repeat. Right front, left front. It works, it's easy, and you don't need 2 people. Depending on how much air is in there, it might take a while for the fluid to start coming out, but it will work.

Some other guys talking about gravity bleeding.
