As someone mentioned above, try sliding a breaker bar over the handle of the wrench for more leverage -- I have a 30" long 3/4" diameter steel pipe that works perfectly for this. Give it a few quick, hard pulls and you should be able to break them loose, unless they were tightened by the hand of God himself ;) Good luck!

If it were me, I'd go to a parts store and purchase a long 1/2in breaker bar and the appropriate 17mm (1/2in drive) deep socket. This is what I now carry in my car for an emergency tire change. I've already been through your situation so if money is going to be spent, it may as well be on a couple of useful tools.
Hint- Attach the breaker bar to the lug parallel to the ground. Stand on the bar and bounce once or twice and the lugs should come free very easily. Edit- I broke two 1/4in drive sockets before going to the 1/2in. |

where did you find a 17mm 1/4" drive socket?

arent the lugs 19's?

Yup. Audi uses 17mm.
To the OP, try kicking the bar. |
Don't really need a breaker bar per se. Just get a long pipe that can slide over the handle of the Honda-supplied wrench. I use the handle from my hydraulic jack.
Yes, it's 19mm I wouldn't call AAA or Honda or tow company for this - unless it's actually broken. It's like calling a bar to open your twist off beer. Call a friend who knows how to turn a wrench. If none are available, make friends with a local S2000 owner. |
My aftermarkets are 17mm maybe stock are 19 teens? If so ,just get a 19mm 1/2in.

post something constructive or don't post at all. consider that your warning.... to the OP. does one of the lugnuts that you can't take off look like this? http://base0.googlehosted.com/base_m...7137fb43&hl=en if so, that's a locking lugnut and you need a key.. the ones that don't require a key should look pretty flush (unless it's an aftermarket locking lugnut and has a unique edge to it.). Take a look at all the lugnuts on your wheel.. do they all look identical? If so, chances are, you need to put a little force to it... if one looks different and that's the one you are struggling with, then that's probably a locking lugnut. good luck.. |
