last time i had a lug that was too tight, i broke the whole rivet that sticks out of your rotor. front right wheel where all my torque is, is spinning on 4 lugs.

The best 'safe' method I have found for removing lugs is to put the tire iron over the lug, with the bar coming off the right side. Get your body over it and pull upward on the tire iron slowly gradually putting more and more force into it. This way you can use your legs and shoulders to apply more pressure...

p.s. Do not put the tire iron on it and jump on it to get it off.....2 days ago my friend was taking off lugs and I said "Dude don't jump on it you will break a stud....1 minute later I watch him snap it off...lol

i finally got it off!!!! it was a pain in the ass and i def. pulled a bunch of muscles in my back(damn, i sound like i'm old)...but it was worth all the trouble.

*solution to getting the lug off...for anybody that encounters this problem in the future*

swab the very back of the lug with a rust dissolving solution. let it sit for a minute or two and then try and remove it with the wrench/socket.

thanks to the guys that left me some ideas!!
