Got a flat tire right outside glamis on the 78. Wasnt much of a shoulder. Rushing I grabbed a 12 point socket. It ended up making the sleeve on the lug nut slip. Even back at camp using a 6 point socket and battery powered impact the outer sleeve was spinning. Had lots of guys perplexed. We couldnt believe the 6 point socket was slipping. Didnt seem possible. At first i called out AAA. He couldnt get the nut off either. Crazy right?
Ended up cutting the cover to access the axle spindle nut and pulled the entire assembly off. Plan was to drill out the backside of the stud. I went through every metal drill bit i had. In the end.....we used the impact gun for the 20th time and it backed off the nut.
I should get some pics. My phone camera is blurry let me borrow a phone. The sleeve is still on the lug nut. Its not all that deformed. Hard to believe it rotated and stripped so many times. Probably 100 revolutions.
