this is a dumb question but here it goes:
I have a 1989 XJ with factory alum. wheels & i was trying to change the rear brakes when I discovered that the lugnuts were VERY tight I got all the lugnuts off execpt for one, I broke two scockets before I got out the impact gun, than I rounded off the lugnut. I tried the "bang a smaller size scoket over lugnut" thing, it did not work...this f`ing is really tight. Is there someting else I could try, any tool? Thanks
As a last resort I have thought about pulling off the diff cover & poping out the c-clip & removing the entire axle,drum,wheel so i could burn off the stud & install a new one. any thoughts?
TIA,
Harry
