Stuck on lug nut.

[accidentprone86]

My two best friends in the garage are my impact wrench and propan torch.
Even when i combine the two i still cant get this lug nut off.
What else can i do???

Might as well get a good breaker bar and break it off, get a new nut and a stud, had it happen numerous times

Second that. Get "Ol' Betsy The Breaker Bar". Its either gonna break loose or break the stud. Usually the stud, I've been there.

Had this happen last week. Tried my impact and then went to a breaker bar and a 3" Craftsman extension ... the extension broke a lot of wd-40 later and also using an impact extension, it came loose without breaking the stud. Good luck.

use the pole from your jack as leverage.. that WILL get it off

My "Ol' Betsy" is a 3/4" breaker bar with a 4 ft piece of heavy duty pipe. I have had it since changing struts for the first time. My impact wouldn't break them strut bolts loose.

Happen to me too, the other day. Lots of PB and a 2 foot pole, broke the nut loose.

well i have another problem then.
the wheel is on my old rear end.
I just got done swaping it and it is siting on the ground.
Any ideas on how to stabilize it so i can break it off?

Um remember the part of the instructions that say "Loosen the lugs and then jack and support on jack stands"? Why do you suppose they say that? Have you got a mounted vise grip? Or if you dont care what happens to it have a buddy park there truck on top of it. Good luck with that one.
