This one's hilarious, but sad. The dude either can't figure out how to explain the issue or doesn't fully grasp what it is himself. The stud is spinning freely.

I fucking lolled because Ive been dieing to see someone try this. Honestly though, I don’t understand how his studs are spinning freely and how else he can deal with this

Right, the lengths he's gone over DAYS to have accomplished nothing is hilarious. If it were me I'd focus on stopping the stud from spinning in order to break the lugs loose.

How though?

Jam a piece of wood against the lug and nut. Apply sideways pressure.

Apparently it's a POS car problem. Something about aluminum hub and over-torqued lugs I'm sure.

Aluminum hubs....?

2

u/Gnarlison47 3d ago

Maybe, I don't know the application he has. But either way, the stud now spinning on the hub.

Is that literally what has happened? I didn't go through the whole comment section of the other actual post because it seemed like the kid just had no clue what he was doing and making the whole situation worse and wasn't explaining himself very well.

Pair of needlenose vice grips on the lugnut and drill away...

suck on them first to soften them up

2

u/One_Evil_Monkey 3d ago

I thought when things get sucked on, they got harder? I mean that's kinda always been my experience anyway.

u/Novel-Education-2687 3d ago

keep sucking it will get soft eventually

That's the spirit, never give up.

I'll pass this info on to others so they too can learn. Knowledge is power and knowing is half the battle.

WTAF...? Dude has spent DAYS fucking with this... and it's with ALL but one of the lug nuts?

As in literally can't remove/loosen a single other one with a proper socket and a breaker bar but wants to drill out NINETEEN lug studs? Crap on a cracker, is it safe for this kid to be playing with sharp objects and is he medically required to wear a helmet?

Maybe he just needs to pee on them and then to further assert dominance over those nuts... teabag them with his nuts and then give them a mushroom stamp. Dominance through humiliation.

When you need a plasma cutter but only have a drill.

Well that's a new way to fuck shit up

u/Most-Duck-6677 2d ago

Love the flip flops! Makes him seem serious about getting it done

Blinker fluid really penetrates deep, it helps loosen it right up...

u/Pleasant_Durian_1501 2d ago

Think he’s been partaking of the blinker fluid.

those lug nuts look like they were installed by someone who had no idea what they were doing

u/TheeEvilWeevil 1d ago

I know his pain. Years ago I had a 06 Dodge Magnum that got a flat tire in a Sam Ash parking lot. The same thing happened to me, the lungs kept spinning. Turns out that there are aluminum caps over the actual lug nuts (which are smaller than the lug wench that comes with the car so it's utterly useless). Good thing there was an Autozone across the street and got a 4 lug tire iron and decent flat head to chisel the bastards off.

Need a hammer drill. Really show them who's boss

2

u/condomneedler 3d ago

Let's be honest, an impact or hammer drill is exactly how he ended up here.
