URGENT - HELP NEEDED - STUCK WHEEL LOCKS

[simplejack]

Take wheel lock key and grab 4 way tire iron wrench so it fits your key and other side should fit regular lugs.

I agree with Lifeliberty.

It looks like you broke a 3/8ths drive 3 inch extension. 3/8 drive is not gonna do what you are wanting to do. It's just not heavy enough. Upgrade everything to 1/2 inch drive and you will be fine. Including torque wrench if you want to use one. Also get a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar to remove your lugnuts instead of the torque wrench.

I ended up getting an upgraded 1/2 in torque wrench , 1/2 in breaker bar , and 1/2 to 3/4 plus a 1/2 to 7/8 deep well socket to fit the lug nuts and locking nuts which are inconveniently sized differently . Should be equipped to tighten and alternatively remove the nuts and locking nuts

You still need a DCF961!

Don’t forget your antiseize. Though that then brings up another topic for internet arguments regarding how much the lubrication changes your applied torque and how much you should reduce your settings. And definitely don’t accidentally grab loctite instead of antiseize when doping your lugs. Wifey accidentally did that yesterday Luckily she caught it and all was remedied. We could also argue about why everything is written as foot pounds instead of pounds foot.

I called and asked for an adapter about 2 weeks ago and never heard back. I found a remedy thanks to helpful advice from the forum. Leaving first thing in the AM so I’m on a time crunch

I have that socket set and it’s a rock star. My lug nut adapter uses the 19mm

The extensions are on my Christmas list

Some stuff at HF I wouldn’t trust beyond one use, but others are solid for life

Here’s a vote against antiseize.

The torque specs are for dry, and you will not get things torqued properly with antiseize on them.

If I just stumbled across that in a drawer I would think it’s set to 76.5

Disclaimer - I’m not a mechanic

I actually am a mechanic, and I agree that's set to 76.5.

You need a breaker bar. harbor freight, Home Depot etc has them.
