But everyone gave good advise. Just remember lefty loosy righty tighty. And make sure to be on the lug square to prevent rounding the bolt. And more length = more torque, so use longest wrench possible.

Btw, that place is Monro Muffler & Brakes.lol
The wheel was replaced there not too long ago so I'm assuming that's why its on so tight. Absolutely hate that place though! Had my share of their crap!

Lol dude I hear yea I brought my cat back and mid pipe to them so they could hook itn up.....yes jus a bit lazy lol but I come back 2 hrs later there like its done....I'm like cool...then the guy goes sooooo we noticed you intake manafold gasket is "broke" (iknew this way ahead of time its a very very very slow leak of coolant.) But I was like wtf r u guys doing looking at my engine I gave u a mid pipe and a cat back you sould be looking at the bottom of my car not my engine...unstand if I had LTs installed but no....

lug nuts are supposed to be tight. try looking in your spare tire compartment for the four way

And that's the reason I dislike places like that... including Pepboys.lol
My cat got messed up and told em all we wanted fixed was the cat. Apparently, they didn't fix the cat but decided they'd just put a new catback... I'm like, we didn't ask for that. Those places drive me nuts!

dGrabber · October 25th, 2010, 03:54 PM

Good News!
I used my longer lug wrench and applied more "oomph" and got em off!

v6kid · October 25th, 2010, 04:15 PM

You showed those lug nuts who daddy is.

02GreyStallion · October 25th, 2010, 07:00 PM

hahah wow

jessemachone · October 25th, 2010, 07:51 PM

keep us updated. i'm up all night so if you need a hand, holler or pm me. it isn't hard work dude, I'm sure you can handle it.

dGrabber · October 27th, 2010, 04:33 PM

Got a question. How do you get to the pinion shaft and the bolt that holds it in place? Kinda stuck here.

GreenMustang00 · October 27th, 2010, 05:31 PM

An air impact gun lol I think its about the only way

Edit: The pinion gear is held in by the nut. Use an air impact gun to remove nut. But you can remove the axle without taking the pinion out... Theres a C clip inside the differential. Using pliers you can pop it out and slide axle out

dGrabber · October 27th, 2010, 06:17 PM

The pinion shaft? Not removing any gears here.lol

NEVER loosen with a torque wrench...

GreenMustang00 · October 27th, 2010, 09:43 PM

I thought you had a bent axle not pinion shaft?

Pinion shaft(silver piece between the spider gears) is what holds everything together.
You remove it by removing a bolt and then u push axle in, my c clip and 2 spider gears are out.
