Who is the brainless turd who decided that mixing steel nuts, steel lugs and Alloy rims on a vehicle would be a great idea ?? Add onto that the idea that putting a pretty yet flimsy chromed cap onto those lug nuts works fine until the cap loosens from the nut, therefore changing the size socket or lug wrench needed to remove it. I just needed a mechanic to work over an hour and a half to remove and replace not only the nuts but the studs also for three of five lug nuts on my wife's Cherokee. My other option was to tighten the two that I had managed to loosen, and skip doing the brake pads on that side until our return from Florida. The thing is ...... those rims had new tires mounted less than two months ago and should never have been that difficult to remove in such a short time. Fortunately I had a mechanic who refused to be beaten and he had tools that I didn't, along with the experience to make the difference.
