Default Any Ideas?

Ok, so i got my Hawk Pads & Drilled Rotors. As i approach my car I bend down & use the tool AUDI gives you to take lugz off. Well, upon doing this I find out that it only fits (1) LUG the rest are diff sizes...The autostore I went to didnt have the size i needed either. So here I am with rotors & pads & cannot take my lugz off...Any ideas? The things prolly have so much damn torque.. I dont want to wast 300-400 bucks on a Air compress kit tho... so cheap ideas be nice. I thought about just taking it to my shop. Then I cant paint my calipers



Umm...thats all for now.

Find what socket size it is, go to a harbor freight tools, buy a socket set and a breaker bar or torque wrench...

Should be under $35

7/8 or 22mm socket with a breaker bar and your set. But wrenching ridiculously tight bolts gets old after the first wheel. I suggest investing in an electrical or battery impact wrench. If your ever gonna do major work the car, especially the suspension, invest in a $300 air tools set. It'll save alot of time, frustration and backache, trust me on that one. Oh and never use a torque wrench as a breaker bar.
