I had a junker that I wanted 126 wheels off of. all 20 bolts were
severely overtightened. I was jumping on a 18" breakerbar with no
results. (300++ ft Lb.) I finally got 10 out by hammering on the end
of the breaker bar with a 2 lb blacksmith hammer for probably 5-10 min
each bolt. (homemade impact wrench)

I’m at Costco getting new tires put on the SL600. The old michelins had good
tread but were 12yo with sidewall cracking so no bueno. One wheel had 2 stuck
lug bolts, the guy didn’t want to lean on them too much as a couple of the
others that he did get off looked like they were starting to bend. These have
the threaded part then the head that fits on the rim then another coupla inches
of shank with the hex head.
So now the challenge is how to get these off. I guess I’ll need somehow to get
some Kroil in there and soak them good but I’m not sure how. The bolts are
recessed in there and I don’t think I can get to the holes from the back but
maybe. Any wisdom?
