I once drilled 13 out of 20 lug nuts off a Ford Escape in upstate NY. After 25 years in the business you learn a few tricks to make life easier. You can also get a 4” piece of 1” copper tube and hold it with a pair of pliers over the lug nut hole. It will shield the wheel from the heat and sparks but allow your to torch the lug nut off with very little charring to the wheel. Drilling is best but takes some time especially if you have more than 1 to do. Great video, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for video. I Learned the hard way after having to do this in the past. First thing I do after my car gets new tyres and the tyre guy has battered lug nuts on with an impact wrench is take each lug nut out, apply anti-seize and set them to correct torque. Also, if you reckon there isn't much risk of your alloy wheels being stolen, replace the silly locking nuts with regular lug nuts.

[@pazzy4501]

Wel done 👍, a lot of work you did out there, where I simply suggest using a rounded nut removers, which are special nuts set that can be attached to your impact wrench which have a small rugged helalix that catches in the revers direction. This set catches all nuts type whether they are in a good shape or even torn out, that will make your job like a knife in a butter, try them out and feed us back with the result in another video, greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬, keep up the good work 💪

[@TheUnknownHarbingers]

Just an FYI.. your not supposed to put anti sieze on lugnuts because it affects the torque value. I think best practice as far as lugnuts is take them off every now and then. I suppose it depends on where you live and how often you drive the vehicle.

[@LOREGUINNESS]

[@ChrisLincolnHomes]

This is why, when I lived in MA, when working on the car if the wheels were involved I always put anti seize on the hub and back of wheel and used Mystery Oil on the lugs. Never had an issue getting the wheels off even up in the rusty New England.

[@SalandFindles]

You use oil on the lugs? They didn't vibrate out?

[@istvanmeissler2238]

Why wouldn't you use anti-seize on the studs as well?

[@Kingsblade7]

Try this: Spray pb blaster on the lug. use torch on strip kit socket, so that it gets red hot at the end of the socket. hammer socket onto lug nut. Use impact on strip kit socket on lug, done.

[@oldsilkhat7893]

A few tricks from my past. First the speed of your drill is key, in this demonstration he held the rpm way too high. Sometimes a quality hole saw will work as long as the guide bit stays in position, the hole saw will wear away the lug. Check to see if the back of the lug stud is easily accessible, if so torch the back off. A hammer and quality chisel will do a lot more work than you think, but be careful of damaging the wheel. They make specialty sockets for rounded off lugs like this. We have a lot of luck with them, if they don't grab use your hammer and chisel to ding up the outside of the lug, usually that will get it.

When you have a rusted lug nut, try tightening it first as it will be the path of least resistance (less rust) After it slightly tightens, then try backing it out.. you will keep from snapping as many studs with this method.. you may also need to tighten it, Loosen it, tighten it, loosen it to keep the threads from binding up with all of the rust.

You may a Allen screw on it that is holding it on, depending on the vehicle. Look for it on the outside of the rotor! There is no reason for it to not come off otherwise!

Sledgehammer if no rotor screws. 4 hits in a square configuration. Of course replace rotor after these hits. Something this rusted to hub has been on too long and needs replaced. I don’t mess with keeping or machining rotors as this is a safety issue for $30. Not worth it.

[@1AAuto]

Sorry to hear that! Like other commenters mentioned, look for a screw holding the rotor to the wheel hub. Also, depending on the vehicle, some rotors have threaded holes that you can tighten bolts into, and they will push the rotor off the hub.

[@photondebuger45]

Have you tried picking at it where the hat of the rotor goes around the hub? I heard from other mechanics that live up there in the rust belt thats the most troublesome part to get off

[@williamocrow]

Air hammers are a godsend when you run into that.

[@JohnBrinkPhoto]

Purchase a "self centering drill bit with guide" like carpenters use to center the holes they drill through door hinges. The bits are replaceable so you can put in a cobalt bit if needed. The bit and tip of the guide should just fit through or into a 1/4 inch drive socket drive end. Sort through your 1/4 drive sockets until you find one with an outside diameter as close as possible to the bolt stub diameter that you want to drill out. Grip socket with vise grip type pliers with drive end toward bolt and align as close as possible. If bolt is protruding you may be able to use a small hose clamp to help you align bolt and socket. Now insert drill bit through open end of socket and push on spring loaded bit until it is touching bolt stub and start easy drilling. You now should have a shallow hole fairly accurate in the center of the bolt stub. Then remove this rig and drill away with regular bits of ascending size. The only thing this accomplishes is a starting point as centered as possible. There may be variations of this technique depending on the circumstances. If the bolt is really hardened some people use carbide tipped bits.

[@ethanplace2194]

Use Just a smaller socket (impact rated) and hammer into the nut the most straight u can and then twist with a ratchet (not impact gun) And that's it! It'll come off quick

[@1AAuto]

It didn't make the final cut, but, believe it or not, we actually did hammer on a smaller socket for both the breaker bar and impact gun shots!

A little bit of transmission fluid on the threads while instalking. It has so many rust inhibitors. If the stud was spinning, why not grind off the backside and tap it out with a punch or drift pin.

[@chillmode9576]

I take a braker bar, load it up with torque and smack the swivel part of it with 4lb hammer. The vibration brakes the rust loose and torque on the bar takes advantage of it. It's not very good for the braker bar so I have a cheep one for this specifically.

Part of the problem was likely that you removed all the other nuts first and the rim was wedged against the lug nut. A good plan might be to tighten a nut on either side of the stuck nut and leave the two opposite off. Over torque the two adjacent nuts to relieve a bit of the pressure on the stuck nut, then hit the stuck nut a few times towards the axle with a hammer to break things loose and free the ramp of the thread wind and give it another try. There's a reason why they teach rank amateur home gamers would be mechanics to tighten the 5 nuts of many cars in sequence of opposite points of a 5 pointed star.

Forced to do my own brakes after a shop turned me down (excessive rust). First three wheels went smoothly but, ironically, the previous owner grossly overtightened all the lug nuts on the new, rust-free, wheel hub. I couldn’t get the lugs off even by jumping up and down on the breaker bar. I broke out my Chicago Electric 12v emergency roadside impact wrench, banging away until it seized. I switched to my DeWALT impact driver with half-inch impact socket adapter and the adapter instantly snapped. I had to use a torch while jumping up and down… and even then it damaged the threads on at least three studs and pulled the threads clean off one of them (like a perfect coil/spring). It was the only hub without rust, there was body damage around the wheel, and the rim had junkyard numbers so it was clear that the previous owner had replaced the wheel hub and grossly over-tightened. Meanwhile, my brand new caliper isn’t working right so I’m going to have to go back in. Wish me luck!

Do one on stuck hub assebly bolts the ones on the back of the hub. Mine are stuck. Stuck stuck and the cv axel boot is directly in the back of the bolt which I can barly even get any type of tool around the nuts because of the cv boot. In the replacement hub and bearing assembly video you make it look eqsy but it's absolutely almost never that easy. Never. So do thet for me? It's been 2 days I've been constantly wrecking my shoulders and arms 😢 I even got a friend thets over 300 lbs and they won't budge. It's obvious its seized my truck can't move. Help me plz.

And I’m sure you pass the savings on the customer,when things like that happend that time shouldn’t be part of the charge, stop the clock and when you finish the clock start back for the brake job

Once had a lug nut and stud have stripped threads in such a way that the nut was loose and could spin freely but would not come off, had to drill it out but also hold the nut from spinning the whole time, in a recessed hole on alloy wheels

[@chrisscott6273]

Striped lugnut socket would have solved this problem in 1 min. Drilling is always last resort. And instructor had drill in high-speed which dulls bits extremely fast.

Thats what happened to me in all bolts when a dude at the tire shop used like a 1000nm impact wrench while the manufacturer says 130nm. Now i dont let anyone tighten the bolts. I do it with my own impact wrench

My first car was a 69 pontiac gto. First flat i broke off all 5 lug studs. Priceless lesson. From that day on... An old guy told me to put a dab of grease on the threads to prevent the lugs rusting to the studs. Seems dumb to grease a lugnut but ive never broke another off. Just sayin

I was wondering does this method also work for broken wheel locks when u don't have the key along with it

Snap-On MG725 1/2 Air Impact? Can tell just by the sound it makes😂

[@denny5776]

How about using the jack to push the breaker bar to gain the maximum amount of torque?

[@Carlos-yz5kz]

Shield 21 That May work sometimes but you can tell early in the video his breaker bar was already going to snap from the force

[@denny5776]

@@Carlos-yz5kz You're right. Nuts can be so hard that it could possibly snap the bar, perhaps even causing a hazard. But that method is used when the nut aren't too tight.

Hey! slow down the rpms down when you're drilling steal it will drill way faster..
