inZane 240 Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 While trying to break the lug nut free, it cracked my socket. How in the hell do I get this thing off without breaking anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Impact sockets. They're thick walled. They're tough. They're air driven. They're the ones for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Impact sockets and (if you don't have air) and impact hammer. It's basically about a 1" round and 5" long piece with a socket end that you smack with a hammer and it imparts a small twisting action on the socket (not much is needed...just enough to break free the bond). Well worth the $10 or so they are. I bought mine when I couldn't crack some lug nuts in a yard years back....2' breaker bar being jumped on did no good but the impact hammer with a 5lb hammer did the job.
