Help...help...i need help....

Hey guys,

I was in the process of taking out my tails(on my TL) and 2 out of the 6 nuts got stripped!!! How can i get them out? I tried wd-40 and all of that and no luck. Do i get some kind of professional tool to get the nuts off or can i get a acura technician to get them off? Help cause i have one tail on and other oem one on. It looks phucked up!

If the nut is still on the threaded shaft and you stripped the corners trying to get them off, try a pair of needlenose vice grips. Now if they're stripped because they are cross-threaded on the shaft, that could be tougher.

You could break out the Dremel and cut it off.

You can also take a socket and hammer it on over the lugs then use a sturdy rachet to take them off...I know that most tire places follow this method except rather than a rachet they use their impact guns making it much easier.
This is also how to remove a wheel lock in case you don't have a key (makes you feel safe with those wheel locks don't it. )
