The easy way around this of course is to forget about rotating the
tires, just put the other lugs back in and go :) Oh my, what if you
get a flat and it just happens to be the same wheel. Do you have AAA?
I once watched a tire tech with "all the gear" round off the bolt/nut
with a resultant mumbled expletive. Went back to the truck, took a
"special socket" out of the tool box, came back, pounded it on with a
BFH, put the air gun on it and presto! Out/off came the lug/nut. I
didn't get a close look at the socket as this young man seemed to be
in one big hurry, probably had a bunch of others waiting for him down
the road. On my 5kq the lugs have notches on the top that probably
would fit some "special" socket, but I dunno...
Best regards,
Geo
