So I was ready to paint my oem rims untill..
Until... I tried to unbolt the lug nuts and i couldnt get them off... Very sad.. I tried three wheels and all the lug nuts but i cant seem to get them off. Any body around millbrae willing to give me a hand? or does anybody have that high pressure gun to get the lug nuts off? Please help.. =/ Thanks..
are you leaving your car on the ground when you are tryin to break em loose. if not that could be your problem. if it is on the ground just position the stock tool so you can jump on it or stomp the chit out of it.
and most impact guns cant create more force that you will it's only that initial shock and vibration that sometimes is in your favor.

I just did this to change a spare on the Camary. I got pissed off and out of frustration I got on the tool and motionhopped on it and bam, done deal. I did the same when putting the lugs on

Yes i am using stock tools, whats a breaker bar? I tried jumping on it before but i didnt literally jump on it, i just stood on top and try putting pressure. is that the same or different? Im scared of i actually jump ON it, that i will scratch my car accidently or break something..
Don't jump in the air and land on it, you might slip and fawk yourself up
I stood on it and put most of my weight on it while bouncing on it. I have weight on my side though

easy the guys at the tire shop was lazy and just hit it with a gun without threading it on by hand first. that or the possibility of hitting it with the gun with no torque stick or even just using a ft-lb torque wrench

Breaker bar..just a long non-ratcheting bar with a socket end.. harbor freight has them for insanely change and it's very useful.
or you could use a metal pipe big enough to go over your current ratcheting wrench and use it as a breaker bar..
