Stuc lug nut HELP! (And stripped and destroyed)

[tjkj2002]

You can use impact but make sure to hand tight the nut the max you can first to prevent cross thread.

Kinda defeats the whole reason to use one,heck your already tightened so no need.Start nuts/bolts by hand,at least 3-5 threads then use the impact.

Thats how I have been doing it for years and work the rim down so you don't warp the brake drum and get a wobbly wheel from an over thigh single lug.

in what world you can tighten a nut that much with your bare hand? I'm not talking about ratchet...

If you thread the lugnut all the way down there is no point in using a impact by then.Just a couple of threads is all that is needed,that and not having the impact set on it's highest setting.

I had a striped lug on my jeep when I bought it I tried everthing then just torched it off rim was a little messed up but still usable
