pressure washer 101 image

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.........

Ok so my husband just found his foster father after 13 years of not speaking to him. The foster father had had a brain tumor and they got into an argument and he kicked my husband out at 16. My husband is now 29. About a week after we had contacted him for the first time he told us that he wanted to give us a house in Ohio. He wanted to give it ti us. No rent, no mortgage payments he had fully paid for the house already. The house is 101 years old but looks to be in good shape.I would be moving 500 miles away from family to move up there next to him. He swears the he would take car of anything that we would need ( dishwasher, washer dryer, new paint job, and new carpet and anything that were to fail while we were living there) the only thing he wanted was for us to pay the taxes ( which i CAN afford) and if we ever decided to sell the house he wanted half of the profit. I dont know whether to be leary of this of not. It is the person who raised my husband mose of his life.
How would you find out if the house had any loans or leins on it or if there were back owed taxes?
What kind of steps would you take moving like this. He wants us to move by November 1st because he says he doesnt want the house vacant for an extended period of time and that if we didnt want it he was going to sell it.
Answer
Let him sell it. Don't allow him to pressure you into making a major move and incur major expenses until you are certain. Remember, after moving in to this house, the foster father may use this "gift" as leverage to guilt his way back into your husband's life.
Get the house appraised by a trusted local house appraiser, and take the appraiser's report seriously. Share a copy of the report with the father-in-law, and ask him to complete the improvements and repairs *before* you move in. Find out who his lenders are (banks, credit unions) and visit them to find out what you can about any debts owed on the property and house.
Last thought: if the foster father is truly giving you the house, then he must give up any ownership of the house to you. Taking care of your living expenses is a major red flag-- letting him do so is a way of making you dependent on him.
