Wheel Lug Nut removal

[svgnewbie]

Hey everybody, how do you remove a lug nut when the socket ( 19mm) meant for it is to same, and the next size up is to big?

Please edit your post,I/we have no idea what your saying for sure.

??? If its the same then that means it works? Correct me if I'm wrong lmao If what your saying is it's stripped then you can get a kit for to remove them or you can just get a punch and a hammer and break it off, cheapest way, then just go to a junk yard and get one for a 99.9999% discount

sorry about that, ok so the 19mm socket will not fit on the nut, it's to small, and the 20mm is to big, it slips. Hopefully that clearer

what kind of lugs do you have?

I always use a 3/4 inch

somebody probably replaced them at some point. try imperial sizes, as they usually land just in-between the metric sizes.

19mm = .748 inches

So a 3/4 socket is .002 inches larger than the 19mm. That's about the thickness of a grocery bag.

Practically interchangeable. If the 19 doesn't work a 3/4 might...but seems unlikely it's that close. Who knows.

It should only be a 19mm or 3/4.
Sounds like the corners have been rounded over, so that the flats are slightly bigger.
Try tapping the 19mm socket on with a hammer.

13/16 is an oddly common lug nut size, which is 0.813 inches (20.5mm). very possible, since thats what my old '91 had all the way around.

and if all that fails, go to sears and buy a lug removal tool. Its got teeth around the inside that "bite" into the lugnut as you hammer it on the lug. Then you simply remove the old lugs. We have to do this a lot at Discount tire since people are retarded and lose their wheel lock key
