First i'd like to dedicate this to these guys who save us from stripped nuts. . .now, does anyone know how to get the damn nut off of it? its like fused to it!

 

Spray it with WD40 and let it sit for a while and try again.

 

hold it w/ pliers, take another set of pliers on the nut and twist it the opp direction!

 

Been there, done that.

1) Flat blade screwdriver
2) hammer
3) hammer from the inside out.

 

Where did you buy it? It could've save me a few times when i stripped several nuts. I got the gator grip one but it didn't help much.

 

thanks for the advice guys, wd40 is a definite. . .twisting with two pliers is tough to get a girp with but it woudl be nice to thread it on a bolt and use that! hammering it out seems the way i'm gonna go. . .i got a whole set from Sears. autozone didn't have it surprisingly.

 

Good luck!

 

try use the punch & chisel, chisel the nut around the opposite site. It might work sometimes.

 

just thread it partiially on a bolt, then knock it off

 

lube and keep beating it til you get it off...

 

find a matching shorter bolt that fits the nut at home depot. thread it down to the base. use a wrench on each end and turn them like you were tighten the nut down. i think it should come off, it looks like the tool is designed to grip the nut in the same direction you would turn to loosen it.

 

Heat em up and crack em.

 

If it was mine I'd put it in a vice and carefully tap around the edges until it
came loose. Then I go to Sears and buy the correct socket that fits my
lugs....at least a 1/2"!
