I got a car in January. Saturday I decided to see if I could get the wheels off, correct jack, and wrench etc. I found the first one, I could not get one nut off. I got out the impact wrench and still had to work it back and forth and finally had to pull it off with a vise grips. The threads had galled and were destroyed. I then had to use a dead blow hammer to pound it off the hub. Corrosion between aluminum wheel and cast hub and full of gravel dust. The rest of the lug nuts came off, but still had to pound the wheels to get them off. I put anti-sieze compound between the wheel pilot diameter and the hug. I cleaned the studs, lubricated them and then washed them off with carburetor cleaner. I had been told not to lubricate the threads as it can lead to over tightening even with a torque wrench as you get them a lot tighter than with dry threads. What is the proper way to do this? The lug nuts have tin covers on them to try to keep clean, but evidently didn't do the job.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
