Here's something I have learned over the years. You can try a breaker bar to break loose those lugs. You might get Lucky.... OR: ...If you are NOT lucky..and you are physically
strong enough..you may just BREAK the lug OFF. I did this while trying to remove the bolts while removing my exhaust manifold. At that time..I didn't have an Impact Wrench. I learn every day.
An impact wrench
Vibrates the lug..first in foreword and then in reverse in VERY VERY Rapid order. You can't replicate this with a breaker bar or muscle. The Impact Wrench
"Coaxes" the bolt/lug to come loose.
If the bolt pattern has 5 bolts..and one breaks off..I don't have ANY Problem with running with 4.
