EASY WAY TO TAKE WHEELS OFF?

hello guys, i just got my wheels today, and i right away wanted to try to change them. so i took out the jack, and wrench. before i jacked up the car i of course wanted to loosen the lugs nuts first, but when i tried, i couldn't even turn them one bit. i even stepped on the wrench. what can i do?

Take it to a place that has an air gun and bing bang boom you're done!

Life is too short to argue on the Internet!

Re: EASY WAY TO TAKE WHEELS OFF?

it is hard to do it with just the wrench.. i got free wheel locks from my dealership a day after i got the car, but had some where to go, so i thought i've done this before, so it shouldn't be a problem.. honestly, the very first lug that i attempted to take off was the biggest a$$ to take off.. but yeah, all you need is to put some elbow grease into it.. it's not that hard.. just use some muscles :P

OR

just listen to ramo and bring it to a tire place.. sometimes they're nice and they'll jus do it for free, if not for a small charge..

ahh... I cringe when I hear air gun. Too many jerks get agressive and scratch the wheels/lugs. Go find a big strong guy and pay him to use a wrench.
