Many owners find swelling Ford F150 lug nuts. Why do these lug nuts swell and how to fix this problem? Here we start. Most lug nuts are one piece of hardened steel, but Ford put a metal beauty cover over the top of the thick metal lug nut so that they look more desirable and cleaner on the truck. The cap is notorious for swelling and delamination when it gets hot, and it’s also a great place to trap moisture and promote corrosion. This is a very common issue with any manufacturer that produces these styles of F150 lug nuts.
The only solution for this issue is to replace the swollen F150 lug nuts with higher-quality ones. But how to remove swollen F150 lug nuts? A standard lug wrench might not be enough to remove the swollen Ford F150 lug nuts. To avoid damaging the wheel, it is recommended to ask a mechanic to remove the lug nut for you. They have the tools and know-how to extract this part safely. After that, just install your new genuine brand F150 lug nuts.
