Hi,
I went to change my wheels now that the temperature is dropping. I have a set of alloys with summer tyres on them and a set of steels with winter tyres on them.
3/4 changed no problem, the last one I could not get off, managed to get 4 bolts off with an impact wrench but the last bolt will not budge.
I had a new tyre fitted in Spring to this wheel so I'm guessing the tyre place tightened them supidly tight.
I have an impact wrench which does up to 500nM which won't shift it. I've tried my regular spider wrench and all my brute force. I've also tried 18 inch breaker bar including standing on it and whacking it with a rubber mallet. Just cannot get the %^&* off.
I've ordered some loctite freeze and release that'll be here on Thursday. I don't need to go anywhere til the weekend so have a couple of days to play with. Does anyone have any other tips and tricks please whilst I wait for the loctite or cave in and take it to a garage?
Car is a Skoda yeti and its not a locking wheel nut.
Cheers
