pressure washer 101 image
reebius
I have an 2002 grand cherokee with the chrome capped lug nuts. 2 of the lug nuts were stuck so I tried wd40 and then tried heating them. Well, the lug wrench ripped the chrome cap off of both of them exposing just the nuts underneath. Would a tire shop be able to take them off? thanks

With the other nuts removed, places too much pressure on the remaining ones.
1. Replace the other nuts tight, then place the lug wrench on the stubborn one..... then using a jack or a can, let the lug wrench set on the jack or can.
2. With your foot; stand on the end of the lug wrench, with a little down force as if you would jump (just a little - becareful not to fall)....bump it a few times with your weight. After a few seconds you will hear a squeak, and feel it move a little.
With that one broken loose.....get the next one the same way.
3. With the two stuck nuts now loose, loosen the remaining 3 nuts you tightened.....then you can remove the nuts and your tire.
Note: If because the chrome cover is off of one lug, with a washer or piece of metal or even a dime you can "shim" up you inside the socket of the wrench so it will fit the lug nut "tight."
Using your weight to loosen the nuts is a safe way to break loosen any tough nuts.
YOU will not need too but: you can use the jack to jack up the lug nut wrench to loosen a nut if your handicapped.
You should always loosen or "squeak" all the nuts before you remove any nuts.......when you take all but one off at a time...the last one has so much pressure on it....it won't go anywhere with out a lot of grunting and possibly damage to the nut or the "stud" the nut bolts up on.
So go back to square one... and tightly replace the nuts and try again as above and I'm sure you will be happy to see it will become easy to remove.......
Its just "tire shop" 101, don't feel bad lots of folks do the same thing.........
