: I don't know if the lugs on that PW are the same as the M-37 but I
: had the same problem with my M-37 till I got the
: FGorged steel GI Issue lug nut wrench ($15 from Adirondak Dodge,
: 1-800-932-8020) Then using a steel cheater bar and some good penetrant, they came off.
In my case, the GI issue lug nut wrench was hogged out enough that it tended to round off the nuts.
My 1/2" Craftsman works better, and the boys at the local store are used to my returning the
occasional broken tool for replacement. I always forget that the left side of my M-37 has left hand threads
until after I have them on REALLY tight...
My advice is to get the right tool though, and if can be gotten as part of a set, get the set. It is usually
cheaper in the long run, and you'll be amazed how often the other wrenches, etc. in a set come in handy.
