    66 Valiant Seized Lugs?

    Yeah I'm glad I didn't have to learn the hard way. The few times I had tried it (the wrong way) were in the winter and I was just using a socket wrench. Luckily I didn't have the necessary strength to break the lug. But definitely a handy piece of information to have

    66 Valiant Seized Lugs?
