Idea Makes It Easier To Break Lug Bolts Loose
David Gammel, 91 Johnson Road, Scott, Arkansas 72142 (ph 501 961-9374): "This idea makes it easier to break lug bolts loose. Take a piece of 4-in. dia. PVC pipe and drill a 3/4-in. dia. hole all the way through the pipe. Insert a 1/2-in. drive socket extension through the hole and attach it to the lug bolt. Break as many lug nuts loose as you can from this position. You can turn the pipe upside down in order to change the height of the extension and reach the other nuts. Or, you can pull the vehicle or implement forward or backward just far enough to get the other lug nuts in position.
  "The pipe allows the extension to apply a steady, even pressure on the bolts so they won't break off."
