How are they stuck?

If they are siezed use WD40 and an impact wrench with a deep socket should shift \'em.

If you are trying to get some locking wheel nuts off pm me and i\'ll tell you, I\'m not posting it on a public forum.

i tried to take the wheel to check the pads on the front, but bolts wouldn\'t cum off, it mite be because its been in the garage and they\'ve air ratchet it on again,

Ive been told how to take locking wheel nuts off but i ain\'t sure if its right! :D
