Stupid question that needs a stupid answer. What do you use when you have a seized and rounded out lug nut? The nuts on my f150 have that stupid aluminum casing and are now stripped and seized. Has anyone used the reverse thread sockets? I ordered a set to try

Use the Craftsman stripped nut removes, they're like 30 bucks, deform the piss out of whatever you put them on, but have always done the job for me. The Irwin brand ones suck it though.

I did have a snowflake Grand Cherokee wheel once I had to cut off with a giant grinder, that sucked.

 

I tried that, broke the socket. Not sure if id be able to weld it on with the aluminum casing

I use impact sockets when I hammer the smaller size on. Started with a 22mm on a lug nut on my truck and by the time I had it off I had a 19mm socket pounded on with a 4ft cheater bar on my break bar.

Just went through this on my tj, the nut part actually snapped off and left nothing to grab (i hammered on a smaller socket once the chrome came off) luckily i was gonna scrap the wheels anyways. Went and replaced all the studs and got 10 lugnuts for 15$ from a tireplace nearby. Good times

Did you have the silly tin clad acorn, not acorn nuts? Thats what happened on the ZJ, I spun that chrome cap off, rounded the actual steel nut underneath, and it was too deep to get to.

 

Damn, I had 3 lug nuts seize on the Aztek, I was able to torch them out without messing up the wheel. They were every bit as deep as those.

I almost went a bought a torch set when this happened lol. Its very high on my list. All to often i find myself saying "THIS WOULD BE SO MUCH FUCKING EASIER WITH A TORCH!"

 

Gotta have a torch.

Agree completely.

 

Well the threaded socket didn't work. It did what it was supposed to and threaded onto the outside of the nut but that nut is not budging. It ended up breaking my 3/4" ratchet. Id really like to not fuck up my wheels but I'm taking it to Belle tire this week and see if they can get them off.

Yea it does, and every fucking time it goes to it, no matter how many times I go back to normal view.

I don't have a torch lol.

LOL that's funny. I had that problem on my XJ, I drilled it out with a 1/2" split point bit. It took a minute to get the nut off and it was cross-threaded on with an impact.

 

I got the drum off my three wheeler!!!! Sealed Bearings had some major tight spots, so i took them apart cleaned them and repacked them with grease :teehee::teehee: Yea, I am that bid of a cheapass, plus its kinda fun to fix shit everyone else would toss and just buy a new one.
