i found a good trick is put a couple lug nuts back on semi tight to even the pressure out on the wheel, then normally it will take a little stress off the tight ass one. i dont know why retards at all these shops torque wheels down to 200ft lbs. i only torque my wheels to 80

I also put a little petroleum jelly on the lug’s threads and wheel face so they won’t seize together - especially on aluminum wheels that run in wintertime.

I’ve snapped those turdburglaring POS caps off before. I went to Big D Tire in OP and bought a set of the solid lugs for under $40. Them shits will outlast the Apocalypse.
