Stuck lug nuts! :(
Hi guys. I'm trying to replace my tired old front disc pads with some great new ones, but I cant get the f'ing wheel lug nuts off. I'm no weakling but these buggers wont budge, not one!
I've sprayed em with WD40 and still cant get em off. any surefire solutions out there>?

I don't know if you are using an impact wrench or not, but if you aren't you may want to try using one. You could also try heating up the lug nuts being careful not to heat the rim too much. Hope this helps.

cheater bar always has worked for me too. Except for the time I put on like a 5 ft. pipe and cranked as hard as I could, sheared the entire bolt off. So be careful of that, they can be a bear to replace if rusted.

Take a jack stand and put a cross wrench on the nut after spraying WD40, then put on a 3ft section of stout steel pipe, go slow and if you can have somebody push the cross wrench on, garunteed to break them free, only way this won't work is if they are welded on.
