According to Atlantic British, the right lug wrench size is 1 1/16. My problem is the 1 1/16 won't fit over the lug covers. When I tried the 1 1/8, I could almost feel that it wasn't tight enough to grip the nut underneath. Since the wheels were off about a month and a half ago, I doubt they are seized (one never knows, tho). I got a 27mm, same results as the 1 1/16. Went to all 3 car part shops in town, no 28 mm half inch drive. I could go ahead and get a 3/4 drive, but at the rate I'm buying tools for this job, I might as well have a shop do it. Altho that idea is sounding better all the time....But I'd like to be able to know how to get a wheel off for future reference....
What's PB Blaster? Usually I just use WD40, but I'm hesitant to use it that close to my brakes - WHEEEEE, thats why I'm doing this in the first place, I just want to replace my front brake pads. I also want to try to avoid mangling my lug nuts (but the idea is tempting at this point), it will take a good two weeks to order and get new ones, and I only own one car.
