WTH is wrong with some people? How can you justify firing a shotgun at a tire to loosen a lug nut? The man should be banned from owning anything deadlier than crayola safety scissors for the remainder of his natural life.

Id of probably used a more direct form of projectile, from say a rifle or handgun. not a shotgun.
hopefully he will have learned his lesson and will use the correct form of firearm the next time he needs to fix his car.

Damn I was just coming on these forums to post this...... 
I'm just so pleased that gun control in the USA has meant that the stupid, insane, psychotic and inbred (amongst others) are prevented from owning guns and putting themselves, and others, in potentially hazardous situations.

Why did he get the idea that as a Lugnut would not move - the logical conclusion was to shoot it?...
Almost as good as the Texan woman that blasteres her feet off with a shotgun thinkine her slippers were rabbits...

Nah, I don't think he really wanted to loosen the nut, he simply went nuts over it and decided to take revenge

If the Vice-President can use a shotgun to loosen a nut, why can't this fellow? Typical British classism ^^.

I know someone, a friend of my father, who used a shotgun to straighten a bent suspension arm for a Mark 2 Jaguar car they were restoring. It worked.
Using a shotgun on a wheelnut doesn't seem anywhere like as sensible though.

probably banned in Washington state, for some enviromental reason. 
It was orginaly developed for the US Navy, but is now banned from all US Naval Ships and US Marine Facilities. To many people playing torch with a lighter it seems.

LOL!
I worked with a guy who said he had a friend who used a shotgun to blast a hole in his floor. He was running some new heating ducts...
Some ppl simply watch too much Hollywood crap, or are just that stupid...
I mean, I throw tools and swear my head off when things aren't going right in the garage, but to resort to a gun? I guess my temper is not as bad a some ppl's...

They sell WD-40 at every schucks, NAPA, and gas station where I live. Hell my dad has a couple 1 gallon containers of is.
I would first reach for the WD-40 or torque wrench before grabbing my shotgun. Hell I would even resort to a welding torch before grabbing a shotgun. I would even take it to a mechanic before grabbing shotgun. Damn old fools.

I'm, Glad I'm in the UK, and the US has gun laws like it does, because these stories are so entertaining, just imaging at what we'd be missing if they copped on and 'banned' weapons in an urban environment.

WD-40 is legal here. If I wanted to make a flame thrower I would jsut buy a $50 super soaker and attack a torch lighter to it :D

WD-40 is not quite the right tool for the jorb. For this you want PB. Yes, they are very similar: you could use PB to dry your distributor and WD to break your nuts. But since you carry both as part of your standard kit (what! you don't?!) why not use the right one?
Proper sequence of attempts:
Breaker bar
Penetrant, wait 5 minutes.
Breaker bar
Stand on breaker bar
Turn on compressor
Apply impact gun
If I still can't break the nut and wanted to go to heat I'd be sure to wipe down with acetone to clear off the penetrant. And be very patootin' careful using a torch on a mounted rim. And also because I'm sure you didn't drain the tank beforehand. I lost a Planetside mate to something similar. "Oh yeah, so-and-so, he won't be around for a while. He was torching the exhaust of his '72 'bird (who torches exhausts anymore? That's why we have sawzalls now.) and lit off the fuel line. Extra Crispy over 65% of his body."

Since when did fuel lines run by lugnuts.
And there are plenty who weld exhausts.
And the reason to be careful welding a mounted rim is not a fuel line, but the fact that you are heating the air within the tire.
And WD works just fine. Helped me get my passenger side Brake Caliper off with the help of a torque wrench and 5lb bronze hammer.
P.S. standing on a breaker bar is a no-no.

Not on any car that I've ever worked on. But fumes are everywhere. Octane is flashable in the thousand ppm range.
Originally by: Micheal Dietrich

Putting them together, yes. Which requires a much lower torch than burning them apart. Disassembly of exhausts, in my neck of the woods, is generally done with a sawzall and dunnage to shim.

I thought I implied that. I'll admit I have a tendency to ask my readers to read between the lines too much.

Once again I thought I implied that while WD and PB were interchangable, they each had their particular strengths. If I could have only one in my kit, I admit it would be WD. (Actually I use 6-56, which is the same difference.)
Originally by: Micheal Dietrich

Please discuss your opinions on this. Is this a safety consideration or a don't-overtorque-the-lug consideration?
Please don't think I'm being forum-confrontational. You are providing intelligent discussion and I'm trying to do the same.

The tank is sealed. If fumes were that bad then shops wouldn't have flammable objects in every corner. IF the fumes are really strong, then chances are you may have a leak. The only time I have ever heard of a tank being drained was if you were going to weld on the tank itself. Personally I've welded my rollbar on (only being careful in the forward corner by the fuel cap) and my muffler. I also light up a cigarrette as soon as I start my engine.
I didn't see any mention of heating the air in tires but just to be careful. Most likely the same thing but I was assuming you were still on about the fuel line.
WD and PB are similiar products, only difference being that WD has many more uses outside of vehicle repair. Like household and catfish bait.
Standing on a breaker bar is a safety issue that was dug into my head during my 2 years of autotech and 1 year of autobody. Stand on a breaker bar in class and get a wrench thrown at you by the teacher. Simply put it's a easy way to break a leg or worse.

It would never occur to me to use a shotgun to lossen a lugnut. I just don't understand how it could possible work. what was he trying to do, shoot it off? how was he planning to get it back on?
I think he was just ****ed and lost his cool.
