Steve Butters Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 thats a lot harder to do with 5 spoke 03/04 cobra wheels...ask me how i know...my lugnut was seized and i tried everything, that was my last resort too...i know where this guy is coming from...not really, what a fucking moron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 ...not really, what a fucking moronI was about to say....we'd have to do something about you if you really decided to kill a Termi wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Awesome. I feel his pain though. I've been that frustrated before when working on a car, but I had the restraint to back up, calm down and think through the problem resulting in no saw-zall.A little cheba-cheba helps in that situation too....

Goldie Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 When I was still working, I had a BMW customer who locked his keys in his car for the 3rd time, so he just drilled out his lock cylinder to get into the car. BMW picked up the tab to replace his lock cylinder the first two times, but he got pissed when we wouldn't cover the cost a third time. How do people seriously think ideas like these are the best and/or on thing they can do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 yeah, Nice heavy duty drill bit, a decent drill, a new stud and lug nut...game over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-13 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I never did like the idea of a threaded bolt lug that is recessed into the rim like that as compared to a threaded stud and a lug nut, but damn. There had to have been a better way. When things get that bad and I've tried everything, I just admit defeat and drive it to a shop. I'd rather pay someone else to deal with it than cut my rim apart.

jporter12 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 We had one that got torched off not long ago, on a Jeep. It was cheaper to cut it out and replace the wheel with a used one than to go through the labor involved with pulling it all apart to get at it from the back, or drilling. That stuff takes some time, and a wheel for it was cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Also, the comment he made about an easy out or drill being made of brass? What an idiot! He can a metal that much softer cut through steel? Duh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-13 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Also, the comment he made about an easy out or drill being made of brass? What an idiot! He can a metal that much softer cut through steel? Duh!!!I was wondering the same thing. There's no way any company would ever make an easy out from brass. It doesn't make sense, like you said its softer, and brass is also more expensive than steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfd37buckeye Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 musta been $50 on the back side of that wheel to want it off that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I thought he was trolling for the lulz at first (along with some good photochop skillz), but it says he had 1,400 posts on the site... so, I dunno what to think now.Makes for a cool story bro.

Goldie Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Why the hell did you pick up the tab the first two times?That's kinda encouraging the morons right?Because BMW is retarded. They help people that don't deserve it, and forget people who really could use help. There is no rhyme or reason as to who gets what, or who does and or doesn't get help. That is the one thing about that job that I don't miss at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 tire shop didn't want to help him? umm...go to another damn shop then. at the shop i worked at, we had this nice little kit that was for this exact problem or when the owners didn't know where they put the lug key. it had internal and external ez-outs that were impact grade.
