OMG ITS SO COLD!!! So my girlfriends sister lost the damn tire iron to her stupid jimmy. And I cant get the spare off because its so old and rusted. I have no tools here because i now live with three girls in crystal. Anyone have a tire shop or tools avalible that would want to help soon? -Adam
I would help but you're pretty far away. A can of PB Blaster and a cheap tire iron may be your best bet. The Blaster is amazing when it has a chance to soak for a few days. Good luck.
post pics of the 3 girls and I'm sure you'll get Matt there in a heartbeat...last I heard he is into Asians hahahaha...sorry Bee :biggrin: If not Matt, maybe Kelly...:lollollollol:
Seriously. Go buy a tire iron and PB Blaster. Or man up and just put some elbow grease into the tire iron. Eitherway, this should be a done deal. There is NO REASON to ask anyone to help you change a tire. EVER. Unless you've somehow welded your lugnuts on or don't have arms. If those two situations don't exist, go put your big girl panties on and get to twistin. It takes all of 10 minutes to change a tire. Get your girlfriends to stand on the tireiron or something if you can't get it to turn. Please don't let us down. THe fate of our public presence rests in your ability to change a tire. We don't want MNSportcompacts to think we are a bunch of limpwristed wusses that can't get a tire changed on a cold day. Do it for the children.
Sometimes you have to give the tire Iron a good kick...yes, kick it with you're foot...or use a cheater if you have to. Never had to use pb blast on a lugnut... You now owe a picture of the chicks...
In the event that you need a breaker bar, go to a hardware store and ask them if they have any scrap steel pipe. I've gotten quite a few for cheap or free when they try to tap threads onto a pipe and mess up or something. A while ago, I got a call from my dad a while ago to help him work on my sister's Jetta. Apparently the tires had not been off the thing in a while, and I had to use an impact socket and a 1/2" breaker bar with a 4' extention. I had to stand and bounce on the damn thing to get it to break. This was AFTER letting it soak in 5-6 shots of Blaster over 24 hours.
