I recently purchased some SSR comps and unwittingly tried to fit one of my stock lugs into it.

Needless to say I've been trying to get it out for some time, but to no avail.

Needle-nose pliers won't fit. I can't find a tool that will grip the head of the lug to twist it. My 19mm socket almost fits in the hole, but not quite. I think I'll try to hit it with some WD40 and go for it.

I'm running out of ideas, and I need to get thing out by tomorrow.

Any suggestions? If I don't figure this out, I'll have to take my car to the shop.

Thanks.

Well all i can say is get an impact wrench and an air compressor, or borrow sumbodies for cheaper(impact wrenches work like a charm)

I am surprised you are not able to just twist the lug off the wheel once it is lubricated. Assuming the wheel is not mounted on the car, why not just try to hit it out directly from the other side?

is it that you just need a thin walled socket??? I know that harbor freight carries some.

The lug was on too tight to twist it out by hand and the wheel was mounted.

I did, however, find a way to get it out with a 18mm socket and a hammer
