In Reply to: What is best way to loosen lug nuts? posted by Dave on Monday, July 30, 2001 at 11:45AM :
Dave,
I tried a big cross wrench on my 58 W100s lugnuts, and could not budge half of them(the tires had not been off in years).
Then I tried a breaker bar(in a pinch a 1/2 ratchet) with the right size socket, and a 3 foot long pipe.
I stood on the pipe(to save my arms) and the lug nuts popped free.
I found that a couple had rusted to the rim enough that a bit of the nut was gone.
When you get it apart clean everything as well as you can with wire brushes or taps/dies, and then put some oil on the threads.
Good luck!
Eric
