Thats what my mechanic has told me. So far, I have kicked it. Used 3 different pry bars. HAMMERED it and swore at it lol. Oh and ya, i didnt use Hubcaps, since my g/f Barely drove it this winter. We used my civic mostly.

Thx for the tip buddy. I sprayed a lot of WD40 onto the lugs and hug. I hope this works, or else its a X-large coffee to the mechanic.
