I have covid and today's the last day to pick up my paxlovid from the pharmacy for it to have any effect, but my car has a flat tire. I've been trying for 3 days to get the lugnuts off, and I just can't get them unstuck. I'm using the shitty 8-inch tire iron that came with my car, and can't get enough leverage. I've tried jumping on it, I've tried beating it with a hammer, but they won't come off. And it's made even tougher by my diminished breathing and strength due to covid.
Try spraying them down with WD-40?
Pb blaster would probably be better if they're gonna spend money.
That's a good idea. I don't have any, but maybe I could get some Doordashed or something.
Could dish soap work, maybe?
I couldn't tell you why but I don't think it would. It's jank as hell but you could try dipping a rag in the brake fluid reservoir to get a little bit of it (def careful not to take enough to go below the line) as brake fluid is often similar to if not exactly ATF. I find it works pretty well as penetrating oil even without cutting with solvent.
