Yep!! I bought the Works wheels from your guy and I can't get the last 2 nuts off the rim front drivers side. I seriously need help.
I hammered a socket onto one and got it off but that doesn't work with these last two. Tried the special tools and they don't work.It's too shallow for them to grab the lug. |
Yikes! It looks like you've already marked the wheel up. If it were me, I'd drill the studs, at this point. It will take some work, but you can drill the studs out with a good, high speed corded drill, and a quality bit. It looks like the end of the studs are concaved, so centering the studs should be fairly easy.

Ouch, I would try to see if you could hammer on a 12 point socket on there. Trying to drill the stud will be a pain and trying to cut the nut will only put more hurting on that wheel. Are you using an impact gun? High speed spinning is the key.
Also put undamaged nuts back on the other studs and torque them to down. It will take pressure off of the messed up ones. |
What type of studs?
Is it at all possible to remove the brake caliper and remove the hub assembly? |
I've got a buddy coming over tomorrow to see if we can put our heads together. I'll keep everyone posted. Nightmare!
