Lugnut removal update
Hey guys,
I never could find that lugnut removal socket at any of the auto parts stores around here, so I finally gave in and took it to Mr. Tire. An hour later, my bill was $97 for the removal of six rounded off lugnuts. Apparently the guy broke two sockets in the process. Oh well... I got it home and the good news is the brakes look fine, just some rust on the hubs where the wheels sat. New lugnuts are on all around - they're weird ricer ones that require a special tool that fits inside a socket. They were the only one piece Crap Zone had in stock. Whatever, they hold the wheel on fine, so I'll live. Thanks for the help, if I can ever find one of those sockets I'm definitely going to grab it just in case. |

No, not locks, they're kind of like a torx, except they have about 12 or
15 points. I still imagine they'd make it hard for someone to steal my wheels, not that anyone would want to.
