Exactly. I borrowed my parents' Infiniti a couple years ago, and thought I'd do an oil change in my driveway while I had it. The car's always been dealer maintained, even to change a flat they had several months earlier. I could not get the lug nuts off with any hand tool. And I couldn't find the lug wrench stored with the spare tire, either. Musta been accidentally pilfered/lost when AAA/dealership did the work. I finally resorted to slipping a spare floorjack's 4-foot long handle as a breaker bar over another OEM lug wrench I had laying around. I had to bounce on top of the bar to get the lug nuts off. Kinda bent the lug wrench into a banana shape while I was at it.
