step on the tire iron...stomp on it if u must, they will loosen up!

just make sure you are infact loosening them before any standing/stomping goes on

wow man, thats tigh, try getting extra leverage by like putting a big strong pipe around teh tire iron to make it longer, then get a strong friend to try loosening them like that.
LEVERAGE IS THE KEY

torch it off haha

imported_gatherer

bolts should not tighten up from an accident sounds like someone used an impact gun to install them...

get out a breaker bar....

hmmm, If they are OEM Honda Locks (McGard) You may be able to get a new key from them (thats if you regestered the lock set when you bought it) Other than that, not sure - have never had that problem...

Is the car off the ground when your doing this? or is it still on the ground? If your just trying to crack them off (on the ground) try raising it to relieve some of the tension on those threads...

If you tighten up the compressor shut off switch you can get a few extra pounds of air and therefore a few extra pounds of torque if you really need to. Just dont get too carried away, you might blow up your garage.

GOODLUCK MAN

If it can't come off, tow it to Honda. They have master key.

You can use a 20 mm to remove the lock key. Just better hope your strong enough.

i'm surprised to see that they didn't break off being that tight and putting so much force into it you should invest in a air compressor

nothing takes bolts off like an impact wrench.
