Doesn't really have problems so much as I'm picky. There aren't too many people who would change out a window seal because it has an air leak above 140 for instance.

Thread derailment, I'm so pro.

Also, you of all people should know when I'm just giving you the business. I don't even own a torque multiplier lol.

so, you drive like an ass then? Really, if you are driving at 140 in your local vicinity, I lol. Don't tell us you track it, because you could't tow it to the track.

Don't pull the picky card either, you are in a money pit.

Maybe it was a driveway?
Or all a dream?
Or everything I say on the internet is made up?

Or a runway.

Thumbs up Re: Gloucester, Va lug-nut situation.

Does it have steelies? Solid lugs? Try applying some heat to the lug? The majority of the heat will stay concentrated in the lug nut.

Otherwise us some freeze-off. Then let it thaw out. The freeze-off should help break up some of the rust thats built up between the lug and stud.

Done it a few times and it works like a charm if you dont want to apply heat due to nice wheels or something.

Any parts store should have some.
