#1. ( 90% chance of working ) Insert penetrating oil into a balloon or rubber
and fix it fast against the object. Small amount will do... 1/4-1/2 oz.
Once on the lug nut, position it so the fluid is now flowing on the object
and let it soak in for one week. You can't squirt the pen oil and go hammer
in 2 minutes... doesn't work that way. Needs time to soak in for really stuck
things. Your big rig might look a little funny with a rubber taped to one of
its nuts... but, what the heck, it works. lol
(99% sure cure... ) Use a heavier pipe extension ... go to a 6 foot bar and
break it free or break it off. Use a really good socket or you will just
break it and not the lug nut. Once the break drum is off you can tap the
stud out and replace it with new one for about $4.
(99% cures, but harder.... ) Oh I suppose you could drill it, that takes
about 10-15 minutes. Go in thru the side/top of the nut and drill down to the
stud. Now soak it again.... Don't try to drill the stud as it is extremely
hard. The nut is made of soft metal and should be fairly easy to drill.
(100% cure, but really harsh) You could crystallize it by freezing and break
it off and put a new stud in. There are several methods for doing this, but
won't go into it now because this is somewhat risky. Good luck, Jack
P.S. Did you know that by dipping steel into liquid nitrogen the molecules
will reform into a more precise pattern. Imagine a molten metal pour...when
it cools the molecules form irregular patterns, clumps and thin areas,
sometimes they even have micro fine cracks or weak areas leading to metal
fatigue. Freezing the metal will actually allow these molecules to separate
to equal distances and make the metal up to 200% stronger and more flexible.
Its a fairly old process, bout 15 years now, but it takes a lot of equipment
to set it up and dip times must be precise. Same with the warm cycle.
Absolutely amazing results... just incredible.
