Anyone having problems taking off the lugnuts in their saleen wheels?? I'm tryng to paint my calipers and my crossbar doesn't go all the way in its deeper in the rear wheels. I tried fitting my 21mm long socket and fits good but I can't get it to turn with a socket wrench not enough leverage. Thnks

Did you try a breaker bar on the end of the socket wrench?

Yes!! I used a 13/16ths (spark plug socket) 10 point it has much thinner walls and I used a 1/2' breaker bar

 

[Venomouz831]

Yea I have a breaker bar but its too big for the socket, so ima go buy an adapter for it

Thnks for the input

 

[schmitty426]

Them adaptors from 3/8ths to a 1/2 run for like 5 bucks

I just bought one from autozone and was able to loosen the rears but when I went to the fronts it snapped.. Gotta go back

 

[schmitty426]

Damn that's sh**ty dude

 

[Venomouz831]

Yea just got a 21mm 1/2 drive socket

 

[schmitty426]

I wish I would have done the same :/ I scraped up my black finish pretty bad

 

[Venomouz831]

Dang. Well it worked and so far so good

 

[schmitty426]

What color you painting your calipers anyhow?

 

[Venomouz831]

I was thinking red but I did it on my old gt so ima go with black calipers and red cobra letters. Also gonna dip my chrome saleens

 

[schmitty426]

+1 I like that idea the red cobra letters will look great! And I think dipped saleens will look fantastic

 

[Venomouz831]

Yea so far calipers look good and about to dip the rims.

 

[schmitty426]

Looking fresh man! Now for some drilled and slotted rotors lol

[schmitty426]

Looks great!!! Man, btw a bit off topic but what kind of tires are u running in the back of your ol GT the 305's?

 

[Venomouz831]

Thnks and yea 305 Hoosier dr's

 

[schmitty426]

Sweet thanks thinking about picking a pair up when my 285's wear out what do u think of them?

 

[Venomouz831]

Great tire great grip, I bought them with 60% left used and lasted me around 7k miles and that's with me hitting the drag strip and auto cross
