Amazing what you can do with a hammer and a cold chisel. I haven't tried heat yet. The old school lug nut and a hammer did nothing. Figured I'd circle all the lugs with Kroil over night and see if that helps. Then probably over to the 20 ton press tomorrow. Bob La Londe --------------------- IIRC the hub needs to be supported closely around the head of the lug, with pipe etc, or it will absorb hammer energy by flexing.
