Angry Stuck Lug Nuts

Finally got my new amp all sorted out, and ready to install. But I figured since I have all the parts I need (New Rotors and Pads) Id do the front brakes today since they need it BAD and its so nice out. I thought id do the brakes first, cause if I hook up the amp first, then Ill be toying with that for the rest of the day.

I am usuially fairly mild mannered, so please forgive my swearing....

Anyways I can't even get the fucking lugs loose! I tried a fucking tire iron, but couldnt budge the little assholes. Next I got a god damn 4ft power bar with the proper socket on the little shit, and what happens? Im putting all I have into the damn lug and then SNAP! I broke the fucking socket!!!! Fuck! I dont have access to air tools, like an air ratchet, or anything like that to help me get them off. I tried spraying some Release-All on there, and left it for like 10 min, but it didnt do anything.

Now Im back in the house, I put the tools away and said "screw it". Im not even gonna touch the amp today, for fear of something going wrong. Only thing is...the problem still exists. I HAVE to get the lugs off, and do the brakes soon. I cant afford to pay someone to do it, and I would feel like a dick going to a shop and getting them to take off my lugs and then put them back on again a bit looser just so I can drive home and do the work. I dont know anyone that has air tools either.



I even tried yelling, cursing, and kicking the lugs, but to no avail.



Now I have to drive the car longer with bad brakes, which isnt all that safe. And I bet the weather will turn all to shit when I finally do get them off.

Fucking Lugs!!

Take it to a tire shop and spend $10 to get your tires rotated.
