When we lived in Hawaii my dad had a 1958 VW bug. He got a flat and asked my brother and I to change it for him. The lug nuts had been on there a LONG time and some idiot must have put them on with an truck stop impact wrench. We actually got the front tires to come off the ground with us bouncing on a long cheater pipe. We finally gave up. We took it to a tire shop and they had a heck of a time getting them lose with their impact wrench. My dad made them remove all the lugs and use a torque wrench to tighten them properly.
