ok noob question, today when i was going to remove my passenger front wheel i got 3 of the lugs loose and one was really tight (i couldnt budge it with the torque wrench all the way up to 150ft/lbs) Well i had to scoot the car over a bit so i tightend up the lug nuts a titch and moved the car, when i went to loosen the lug nuts again i got the one that <i>was</i> tight loose, then one of the ones that i already loosend was not budgeable. any reason why? or how to get it loose? i broke my 1/2in to 3/8 drive adapter trying to get it loose, and now i have to wait till tomorrow because the hardware stores are closed

are you trying to loosen it with the wheel on the ground or in the air?

Seanism (clone510)

well i tried with it on the ground, no go, so i lifted it a little (not off the ground) and nada

torx bits, all sorts of stuff. Got some wierd looks with some of the stuff I broke, but never had any issues with returning them and getting new (which are not new, but refurbished to new spec).
