Troubleshooting

Wheel nuts are difficult to loosen.

Ensure the socket is properly seated on the nut and apply steady, increasing force to the breaker bar. Use the full length of the bar for maximum leverage. If necessary, use penetrating oil and let it sit for a while.

The socket doesn't fit the wheel nut.

Check the nut size and ensure you are using the correct socket (17mm, 19mm, or 21mm). Some vehicles may require different sizes.

Breaker bar feels loose at the swivel head.

Check to ensure the swivel head is clean and properly lubricated. If the problem persists, the tool may be damaged and should be inspected for repair or replacement.
