If anyone happens to be close and has a tire iron that won't bend, I'd be grateful for a helping hand. Currently sitting along 35.

Call MoDot they are on standby for these situations.

Thank you.

We got rolling, Lefty. Got a hand from a couple really friendly MO state troopers. Bent two tire irons and couldn't break the last nut with a smaller impact, and eventually had to get it towed to the shop. It embarrassed me, but wasn't terrible costly.

Darn glad you got tires turning again Sam. Sorry to hear your bad luck.

No bad luck at all. When I bent the four-way with my big strong manly hands, my wife gave me one of those "looks" like she did back when we met each other. I'm calling it a win. Lol.

Glad you got rolling.

You got that right, Lefty.

Glad you got it sorted out Sam

Thats a fear of mine, especially when im out hunting in the middle of nowhere, that some idiot at the tire shop gets the lugnuts so tight I cant break them lose out in the field to change a tire if I need to.

Also take some of that anti seize..and put a very light coat on the back side of

The rim...where it comes in contact with the hub.

My sons 2019 Chevy Truck broke down in a parking lot today.

Made a horrific noise and puked all the antifreeze on the ground.

Looks like the water pump grenaded.

Tow truck and all that happy Stuff

Glad you got rolling Sam ....break downs blow.

2019 Silverado 1/2 ton ..97k miles on it...

They don't make them ..like they use to

Thank you for the advice. It's appreciated.

Yes antiseize on the backside of rim
No antiseize on the studs themselves...good way to stretch the stud as it changes torque specs. If you are determined to add antiseize to the studs, I beleive you can find a formula online for how much to reduce the torque specification.

Went to rotate tires on my jeep. Was not happy. Could not get the lugnuts loose with a 4 way. Had to put a 4 foot piece of pipe on it to break them loose. Wife was getting new tires on her car. Called them and told them NOT to hammer them on with the 3/4 drive impact they use. Next day had to drive about 30 miles to tighten the lugs on her car. Its just laziness on the part of the tire guy. To lazy to final tighten them by hand adding about two minutes to the job.

If I get within a hundred yards of anti-seeze. I’ll look at my hand and have some on it. We use it on everything here, but dang that stuff gets on everything

Glad to hear ya got going again Sam. Always an adventure eh!!

I use antiseize on back side of rim and the taper on lug nuts but not the threads. Seems like the biggest resistance is between the taper on steel lug nut meeting aluminum wheel. I’ve twisted the nut in half before just leaving the taper stuck to the wheel. Some kind of crazy corrosion goes on there at times.
