Recovery4x4,
Ya know, Lil Ruthie's one of the newer deuces, an '88, so there wasn't all that much corrosion on the lugs. Once they cracked/broke loose it went pretty good.
The A3 rims on the other hand had 'crimped lock nuts' on the outside rims(3 inch studs?). So with the thread corrosion, and the lock nut, and the stud length, they were burning hot by the time they got to the end of the stud! All the lugs were soaked in penetrating oil days before the work.
