Embarrassed: one lug nut won't budge

Most left hand studs will have a "L" stamped in the end of it.
Understood. Can't see the studs as the lugs are caps.

Google searching seems to lean towards RH h/t meaning Right Hand Threads. Assume studs were converted?

I forgot you had the acorn nuts.

Take your time when removing. If one seems real tight, try another one until you can tell which way they come off. They might have been converted.
 
Thanks. Life is good. They are right hand and all lugs came off easily!
 
I was 20 years old in '85 with zero Mopar knowledge when I bought my GTX ......... I think I broke off 3 before I figured it out


I was the same way when at 15 I bought my '63 Fury.

Since I couldn't get the rim off, I took off the front left rim with the drum and took it to a gas station, this was when they had mechanics instead of convenience stores.

He zipped them off with an impact wrench and told me they were left hand threads.

We didn't cover that in auto shop. I was shocked, and felt extremely stupid.

You'll find out working on these pieces that "there's always one"! You can have just two bolts or nuts to remove or twenty and there will be one that will give you a fit. Comes with the job.
