Removing flat
#11
I also learned (the hard way) that my 20" wheels have lug nutz that require a 23mm socket to remove !!! They aren't easy to find and neither is a LONG breaker bar to use to get them off. Got the socket at Northern Tool and the Breaker Bar at Harbor Freight.
I keep a big hammer, 6 tom bottle jack, 24" piece of 2X6 and a can of PB Blaster in tool box so I don't have to bad a problem getting lugs off.
Definitely put anti-seize on lug nuts. I have to go thru this torture every month with my boat trailer wheels because I don't want to get suck out on the road with a fight to change a wheel on truck or boat trailer

When I bought my truck all the lugs were over tightened. I literally stood on the end of the tire iron and bounced up and down without them budging. Home Depot - 3 ft long pipe, slipped over the tire iron arm, just pushed down and crack. Loose lug nuts.
