Lug nuts werent tightened??
 
My daughters boss changed a flat for her the other day.
She got home with the spare but said it felt like it was wobbleing when she
went slow but seemed ok on the highway. She drove about 30 miles on it.
mostly highway.

I jacked up that tire and 4 of the 5 lugnuts were very loose. Only one was
tight.

Now I cannot get that lugnut off..

Can I use a long breaker bar and snap the lugnut off?

Years ago I had a van that had a lugnut snap off and I was able to knock
what was left out with a punch and replaced the lugnut. It pulled into place
when I tightened it.

My concern is that if these are a tighter fit would you need a press to
remove or install the new lugnut.

Or do you have any other ideas?

I cant go back to her boss about it!

Also I wonder if the wobbling tire could have caused any steering or
suspension damage????


TIA


Steve
