: : 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.

JUST ANOUTHER THOUGHT I HAVE SEEN HUBS PUT ON THE WRONG SIDE STRIP THE PAINT OFF THE NUT AND SEE WHICH WAY TO TIGHTEN THEN GO THE OTHER WAY , GET A GOOD LUG WRENCH .
