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

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.

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.

In a bind I have used a shovel. The handle opening is big enough to get around the ratchet plus its like 4ft long.
