I got so desperate once I loosened all the nuts till they were just off the wheel, rolled the car slowly and hit the brakes; thud, it's loose. I've taken a couple more off that way since, breaks them loose every time. Just don't back the nuts off far, might damage the stud threads. And 5mph, not 50.
Thanks Oldie, I seem to remember this same advice from you before. ( Kinda wondered where that thought came from when it popped in). I did some rolling, and some stopping, and some rolling, and some rocking. Might have had the remaining nuts too tight (scared), but no go. I'll get it.
The tranny fluid/acetone/ brake fluid mix did 4 out of 5. I tried the wax on the last one ( After all hope and failed). No go. Tried it with a lighter method as seen on youtube. No go. This nut was made by satan for satan on ......... I'm not going to say it a third time. Thank God I don't have to work tomorrow while I'm working tomorrow.
Bob, that looks great! Try remodeling in a 120yr old house that was well built when new. My house was built by a well to do guy who was a builder, contractor,owned a lumber yard and mill. he built it for himself.
Al's Rule of old house remodeling : Anytime you build something straight , level or plumb...you're screwed!
So you have learned the meaning of "go with the flow".
