Anyone know the trick to getting a broken lug out? I tried the socket & c-clamp method which worked on my g-friends car a while back. But, this time all I succeeded in doing is bending my c-clamp!
FYI...fox body Mustang w/s95 spindles (front)

Bending the C-clamp? ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) How big is the C clamp? My 5 inch one worked pretty well. Maybe you just need a larger C-clamp? Maybe heat it up with a torch and hammer it out? (watch out for fuel lines if its the rear passenger side)

It was a 4 inch c-clamp and now it's a 4 inch s-clamp. I was at a weird angle while I was cranking on it and didn't notice it was bending till it was too late. I never realized these skinny little arms of mine could bend steel! On my way to Home Depot to get a bigger c-lamp....
