Morning woods. Trying to finish my four wheel tire change and one wheel is being stubborn. Tried PB blaster, heat, 5 foot cheater pipe and all it has got me is one lugnut off and a busted socket. Currently trying the secret weapon. Equal parts acetone and transmission fluid with a hint of brake fluid.

Re-Morning, Woods
OG, heat the base of the lug nut up a little, cheaper butane HF torches work good, not red hot, just enough to melt candle wax. Rub candle on outer end of nut next to stud, let it soak in then repeat...No idea why it works but it does..something to do with capillary action, lubrication and wax dislodging the nuts.
