Last week , Wife has a blow out on / at the sidewall on the RF tire . She called me & I went to try to change the flat .
The sonic has a mickey mouse scissor jack & a lug wrench less than a foot long . The lug nuts must have been installed with a BIG impact wrench , set on HIGH .
Could not loosen the lug nuts with the lug wrench or a big 4 way wrench . Called a cousin to help and we eventually used a 24" HF break over wrench and a SAE socket ( wvwn thought the lug nut was metric ) .
Cousin suggested I join triple A ( AAA ) . Not a bad idea . Think road service is also available with my auto insurance company .
Also thinking about looking at cordless electric impact wrenches at HF . I have a 1/2" drive deep impact socket set for my corded electric impatt wrench . I think I also have a 3/8" short impact socket set ?
Would probably need a setup for the sonic and the Buick .
AAA would be a reoccurring expense . The tooling would not be a reoccurring cost .
Suggestions ?
