Re: Interesting way to remove a wheel lug
normally id agree....but the VW locking lug nuts are JUNKKKKK....they strip out on a whim. Between me and my immediate family we've had to have over 5 lug nuts drilled out. never had a lug nut problem on any other brand of vehicle

Re: Interesting way to remove a wheel lug
I've always hated the VW lug/stud combo. Other car companies have the same thing; MBZ, Audi, Porsche...are you getting the idea? Maybe the German car companies are quite as bright as we're led to think.
We have a screw in stud set up we use on those when installing rims like this guy has (or at least) had which makes life so much easier.

Re: Interesting way to remove a wheel lug
Quote:
After the 2004 Audi A4 was gone, I vowed to never own anything else in my life but a Ford. Im on my 5th ford which isnt bad considering I was raised by a GM/VW believing dad. In fact, my 2 younger brothers currently have a Cobalt and a 02 A4...dad has a 02 Jetta and mom has an 04 Jetta haha.
