Re: Tricks for removing lug nuts
WD40's main claim to fame, is that it displaces water. It doesn't do much
for rust though.

Good advice, use the chisel only if normal stuff doesn't do it. My best
chisel technique is to select a drill that is almost as wide as the sides of
the nut at the hex points, drill two holes in-line with the stud on opposite
sides, then use the chisel to split it, also pounding it in the direction
in-line with the stud. A narrow chisel can do this inside the boss on
deep-hole aluminum wheels.

Yeah, that is how we got our camp fire started this weekend when
everyone forgot the lighter fluid and the wood was a little wet...
wasn't safe but did get the job done.
