Long story short, I bent a rim on a pothole. I'm trying to get the wheel off, but one of the lugs is stuck. Anyone have any tricks. I even have a 1/2 impact air wrench. Nothing working. Please help!!!1

Put a deep 17mm socket on the lug then hit it with a hammer .Make sure you dont hit the rim the attach your breaker bar/ratchet and it should come off. Good Luck...

Thanks for your help guys,

AFTER.......Two broken rachets, one broken socket extension, quarter can of WD40, 1/2 bottle of bolt loosening solvent, a worthless impact air wrench, 2 feet of pipe for leverage, a couple hammer blows, and a breaker bar later......I got the bolt off!!!!!!
