Re: [VAC] Stuck lug nuts on Aluminum wheels.



i have been reading about this problem you are having. (mechanic by trade 
here) one method is heat but also i use a penetrating fluid as it cools it 
will draw it in. caution do not use a flammable product. also if you have it 
to hot it only burns it off as fast as you spray it on. if you must drill. do 
it before the heat and spray.due to the temper of the metal will 
change(harder) hope this helps from Joe Campbell and his 1956 overland
