I was trying to change to my winter tires but i can’t get the lugs off, i’ve borrowed this big ass impact from a buddy but ts still is not spinning, if they are threadlocked is there any way to get them off without ruining the studs?

    No one with a braincell would use loctite on lug nuts.

    However they will over torque the ever living shit out of them or cross thread them. Only fix is apply more torque

      Someone might have used anti seize and over tightened them. Local alignment shop did that with my wheels. I had to take them to the dealership so they could use their big ugga dugga on them. That did the trick.

      I’ve seen lots of people say they use red loctite with their wheel spacers. Apparently they don’t know how to torque them properly or something.
