I flipped the rims on my 04 blaster. i started to push it out of the garage and i heard a clicking sound, it was the valve stem hitting the front brakes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]. so i loosened all of the bolts on the wheel tire went to loosen one on the left wheel and the socket spun around it. ya it was stripped. how can i get it off and what size nut and thread is it so when i get a new one i know what to get thanks

 

tighten the rest of the nuts (not too much)

wd40 the stuck one and let sit

clamp some vise grips (good ones) and reef on it

worst case scenario,,,you break the stud and just replace the stud and nut

not sure on sizes

 

you will need to plug the old valve stem holes and drill you some new ones on the other side of the rim

 

thanks. my dad got it off i guess i didnt strip it all the way to the end so he put the socket all the way to the end of the bolt and got it off. is it worth it to go through all of the trouble of plugging the old stem holes and drilling new ones cause i wouldnt know how to plug them[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
