I was trying to change to my winter tires but i can’t get the lugs off, i’ve borrowed this big ass impact from a buddy but ts still is not spinning, if they are threadlocked is there any way to get them off without ruining the studs?

    If they really do have threadlocker, you need to heat them up with a heat gun. That softens the thread locker. Then, when you find the person the applied threadlocker, confiscate all their tools—they don’t deserve to own any

      agree, they must be heated to break the bond. It might also help to use a tire or socket wrench on the nuts that can be hammered repeatedly with moderate force while heating.

        Heat might help. But honestly. I’ve spun nuts off that had red loctite without heat. Just use more power!
