Okay, got home from Wyoming and found a tire quite low on
pressure. Did the cleanup and it's definitely flat. I got the
thing jacked up and tried loosening the lug nuts--but failed.
After many tries, I think the socket I have (13/16") is just
slightly too big. It wobbles a bit when placed all the way in.
A 3/4" won't go on the nuts, so maybe I need metric? Seems 20 mm
would be the size just less than 13/16". Does that make any
sense?
My bigger concern is that I'v probably rounded off the nuts from
trying too many times to turn them with the socket I have. Any
suggestions on how to go at this?
