fuuuuuu...who has a impact gun
So td wouldn't install the wheels on the e30 because they came to close to rubbing (16x8). So had the fuckers reinstall the stockers. Well now I can't get the last damn lugs off after installing three of the wheels because they torqued them down to hard. Even with a 18" breaker bar. Anyone have a an impact that can pop this lug for me tonight? Def don't want to take all three wheels back off

Use a pipe on the end of the bar for leverage? That's what I do

Leverage is no match for an impact gun. Just use your head, you'll either break something catastrophically or you will get the nut off. ;)

I'd be willing to bet one got cross threaded and they just banged it on with the impact anyways. There is no reason a lug nut would be that tight.

It's probably that same one that was a pain to get off, just go by the tire Discounters on Galbraith. They will take care of it

Probably didn't "torque" anything down, just hit it with the impact for way too long.

They actually didnt take the wheels off, just two (which I got off fine). But when I left I asked them to loosen all the lugs so I can pull the wheels at my house. Obviously they didnt

This.
Hence the phrase: "The tightest thread is a cross thread."

I've got a big ass breaker bar I use for loosening lug nuts. I don't know what I would do without it. Otherwise you can just use a floor jack to push up on your 18" breaker bar. I've had to do that on a couple caliper bolts before.
Side note: don't ever tighten a locking wheel lug with a big breaker bar. You won't be able to take it off without stripping it. I know from experience...
Side side note: My big breaker bar can loosen lug nuts that my impact gun has no chance of loosening. I guess not all impacts are equal.

First of all, no wheel should be installed with a impact or a breaker bar. Get the lugs snug, then torque to specs with a torque wrench. Sounds like you have a cross threaded nut or you need to get a breaker bar like stated and get a pipe on the end of it. You can't generate any more power than that combo unless you have a impact like we have at work that costs 20k and goes up to 12,000ft lbs of torque.

Yea anytime i've had trouble with a lug using a tire iron or something i've used the lever from my floor jack (removed its just a heavy steel pipe basically) on the end of the wrench to get it off. I'm no expert but i'd say that using a carefully applied amount of power from a breaker bar is better than just jumping on a tire iron, lol. The reason I say this is that i've broken a wheel key before jumping on the tire iron trying to get a tuner lug free, split right down one of the splines. Now maybe on a normal lug with just the wrench on the lug it would be fine but i'm definitely never jumping on a wrench with a wheel key over the lug again. Seems like it's easier for it to go out of whack and break something since the wrench gets further from the nut with the wheel key on it.

It must take you a really long time to change wheels.
