So I got my rally armor mud flaps today. Black on Black. Got my towel and tool box, headed outside. Only to find out that I cant even take off my damn wheels! I dont know if the shop my car was at took the wheels off, but I couldn't even budge one lug nut.

Anyone got some sorta tool to assist?

 

Air tools are your friends, or a big breaker bar.

 

Breaker bar...be careful though. Over torqued lug will either break the wheel studs or they will begin to turn in the hub. Evo's stock lugs tend to do this especially if they are put back on with too much torque or not hand threaded on. Why I never take my car to a tire shop without taking my own wheels off...that and not wanting them to scratch the shiet out of them.

 

Someone put the lugnuts onto my friends car over 300ft/lb!
The torque wrench maxed out and we tried an airgun too.....
So we ended up using a 4 sided tire iron and I held it while he smacked it with a bat.

Hopefully yours isn't this bad.

 

Can you take it to discount tire or any local tire shop for help?

 

1/2in breaker bar....slide a long jack handle over it making it about 3ft long and then hold it on while somebody (preferably 200+ lbs) puts their weight on it. Either its gonna break or come off...50/50 chance

 

Future reference: 80-85ft/lbs

 

hahah weak sauce. throw out your ikea tools and get some real ones!

i got a basic tool box thats been really helpful for me. GL :P

 

I bought tools and a jack and jack stands I was excited to put em to use. I honestly dont know who ever tightened them like that, may have been when I got the car. I need to get a nail taken out so Ill run to les shcwab or w/e and have em do the tire then loosen the nuts.

 

les schwaab is terrible take it to discount tire

 

damn, i wish we would have known about it when it was here. We would have taken care of it for ya!

 

Looks like I have to bring it back in anyways. The diminished value appraiser that progressive hired came today and said since it pulls to the right i need to get it aligned

 

use some muscles!

 

let me know if you want some help Derek

 

woohoo its 80 ft/lbs for the evo depending on the lugs and what your doing. let me know if you need help i actually work for a certain tire shop that i cant mention because mods will think im selling product.
