Mitsubishi Repair: lugs removal, misubishi, lugs


Question
Tony,
I want to remove the front tires' lugs on a 1995 misubishi mirage, although I have done so on other cars, I can't figure how on this car. Any assistance?

Answer
Twist HARD to the left!! Or just replace whole disc or whole part... BUT MY QUESTION IS WHY WOULD WANT TO REMOVE THEM?? Aftermarket wheels?? One broke off?? WAIT...WAIT.....You do mean the LUGS themself and NOT LUG NUTS RIGHT??? You want to change the stems
(the bolts) that you mount your wheel on and tighten down right?? These things are tricky you have to be careful when trying to remove them cause they can break or cross thread..on some cars these dont come off and you have to replace whole part, but on some other cars you can twist off to the left(this is hard to do!!!) Sometimes you see a space used to grip on the stem, has no threads on it. Also make sure your breaking the rotor down the whole way, you should be able to slide that disc off and get a better grip on them!! You might be able to find specifics in a repair manual!!

Good Luck
