Rusted and seized nuts (2017 Civic LX)
Hey all,
Swapping my wife's tires and the lugs are seized. I had to use my entire body weight with the breaker bar to get the nuts off. I did not over torque, I use the recommended 80lbs. The nuts are showing rust in between the threads. Stupid Honda use open nuts rather than closed.
Anything I can do to prevent them from rusting and seizing? Replace the nuts that are closed?
