ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Go to a garage and they should be able to take them out.

    There is another method but I prefer it if I don't discuss it not because I want to be an ass.

      do what i do. get a 6 point socket maybe 17 or 19mm u'll notice they dont fix perfectly. but that's fine.. the one that's closest to it but a lil too small is the right one.. put it there. and hammer that shit in. the socket will be tighten on the lugs and u should be able to twist it off. but as soon as u get it loose dont take the bolt off yet.. get the socket off by bangin it with a hammer then take it off with ur hand or slide it back on without hammerin it back in so u could be able to use the socket again. if the 6 point socket dont work use a 12 point.

          ohhhh i use to have that problem. go to sears or any tools store and get a 6 point tools that match nearly or exactly as ur lugs key. and slide it in and loosen it with a wrench.. other than that if the lug is what's damage then ur gonna need to do some weldin work. weld ur key to the lug and turn it out. dont weld the whole thing. just 2 side of the key is good enuff. so u can take it back off by heating it out.

            there's plenty of ways to do it. look around in ur tool box and figure sumthing that could fix in that lug. be creative. maybe u have a fat flat head. stick it in. if it goes in tight. then get a tool to grab that flat head and twist it loose.. think of sumthing

            edit::: if it doesnt fix like the flat head is a lil bit too big. that's PERFECt. with a hammer smack the flat head in and it'll be really tight so it wont strip out.
