Get Tuner Lug Nuts Off Without Special Tools

Regardless of the car you are drivng, it has lug nuts attached to the wheels.


Outside of being the mascot for a minor league baseball team, tuner lug nuts are best known for securing a vehicle's wheel to the frame. These lug nuts come in different shapes and sizes, many of which prove difficult to remove when changing a flat. Thankfully, with the help of the tools provided with your vehicle, you won't need any special equipment to remove the tuner lug nuts.


Instructions


1. Place the vehicle jack along the jack port on the side of the vehicle next to the wheel you want to remove the lug nuts from. There is typically a small indentation or groove the jack slides into that helps it lock into place.


2. Jack the vehicle up so the wheel is completely off the ground.


3. Place the lug nut adapter onto the first tuner lug nut. This adapter came with the vehicle for fitting around the nut.


4. Attach the wrench on the adapter and turn counterclockwise. Initially you need to prove ample pressure to loosen the nut. Once loose you are able to twist off the nut with your wrench. Repeat the task with all the lug nuts until each is removed from your vehicle
