I was using a 19mm wheel wrench and on some of them it was stripping.
Is it SAE or Metric?
Thanks.

The V lug nuts are 19-mm.
A 3/4" will work in a pinch as well.
are you sure you took the outer caps off to expose the lugs? use VERY GENTLE pressure to get the outer caps off, then you can muscle off the lugs. Same to tighten. Barely more than hand tighten the caps. Oh, torque lugs to 100 ft/lbs

Great... I didn't know about outer caps. Why do they do that? What's the point? I'm sure that I must have stripped them.
Thanks for letting me know about this but I am unclear regarding your instructions. Do I just reverse them off as if they wer ordinary lugs to get to the real ones? Thanks for your help on this. I really hope I didn't damage them all.:banghead:

I've re-programmed the presets, but it doesn't stick. It'll stay until I turn off the car, then it reverts. I have no idea how to proceed with this. Any ideas?- 14

Advice for cleaning interior trim? (A/B/C pillars, headliner)
2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V General DiscussionA couple of weekends ago I partially removed the headliner to allow me to access the sunroof rear drains, one of which I thought was plugged or leaking. To do that, I had to remove the A, B, and C pillar trim pieces. Now, I knew they weren't clean, but man, once I had them out of the car I...- 5

Looking for a G37 6MT sedan, found a CTS-V, should I go for it?
2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V General DiscussionHi all, I've been looking to spice up my commute with a sport sedan. I can't downsize to a Corvette because I have cargo and occasional passengers. This would be used as a daily, for fairly extensive local commuting (nothing crazy, maybe 15k a year). The cargo is for work, and a priority for me...- 3
