Im trying to get the lug nuts off this rx7, i soaked them with penetrating fluid overnight. Tried to get them off this morning, bent my tire iron.
After that i sprayed them every hour or so with more penetrating fluid, for about… 6 hours now
Tried it again, bent tire iron even more. I don’t want to go all the way out to autozone on camp to get rent a breaker bar and then return it before they close.
I just need the lugs loosened
drive to a shop and ask for help quick?
Grab a 2’ x 2" steel pipe from Lowes, use over a 1/2" drive ratchet with an impact socket. Careful as you’ll imply a lot of torque with very minimal effort.
i was gonna say, doesn’t everyone have random pipe laying around?
Well. I’m not in blasdell
This
My dad has a breaker bar and a four foot pipe at his house in blasdell. I was just there, bummer. The soonest I could meet you there is Friday though.
Some things are worth buying if you’re going to work on cars.

2’ piece of iron pipe. Probably the most used tool in my garage.
Haha, use anything you can find
A friend stopped by and helped me out, even with a 2.5’ breaker bar it wouldnt come off, had to use a torch… FML
Atleast theyre off now
I love my breaker bar + steel pipe. Torches are nice to…
Floor jack handles work great as well! 4’ of leverage:tup:
In a bind I have used a shovel. The handle opening is big enough to get around the ratchet plus its like 4ft long.
