Step 1: Preparation

1. Safety First: Ensure the vehicle is secured on jack stands or lift.
2. Protect the Wheel: Select the correct centering guide (nylon or metal) to protect the wheel from damage and ensure proper alignment.
3. Position the Guide: Place the centering guide securely the wheel lug bolt cavity. Ensure it is snug and correctly aligned to prevent misalignment during drilling.

Step 2: Drilling

1. Select the Drill Bit: Use the tungsten carbide-tipped drill bit from the kit.
2. Attach the Drill Bit: Securely attach the drill bit to a power drill.
3. Drill the Lug Bolt: Carefully drill into the center of the lug bolt, using the centering guide to maintain alignment. Apply steady, even pressure while drilling.
• Note: Avoid excessive force to prevent drill bit breakage or wheel damage.
• Important: Do not operate the drill without the centering guide, as this may cause misalignment or damage.
4. Drill Until Complete: Continue drilling until the proper depth is achieved (as demonstrated in the video or product manual). Link: CTA 1775 Lug Driller Demo Video

2. Attach the Impact Extractor Holder: Place the impact extractor holder onto the extractor.
• Hammer the Extractor Holder until the Extractor Bit is fulling inserted into lug bolt.
3. Use an Impact Wrench: Attach a wrench to the extractor holder (17mm Hex).
4. Remove the Lug Bolt: Activate the wrench in a counterclockwise direction to extract the damaged or locking lug bolt from the wheel.

Step 4: Post-Extraction

1. Remove the Extractor: Use the impact extractor remover to detach the extracted lug bolt from the extractor.
2. Clean Up: Remove the centering guide and inspect the wheel and hub for any signs of damage.
3. Dispose of the Lug Bolt: Discard the damaged lug bolt and prepare to replace it with a new one.
