Hello friends,
I just realize this has been discussed before, but I had the unfortunate roadside flat, and it took an hour to get the six Lugnuts off because I thought the Ford supplied lug nut wrench with the jack was defective . It was not.
Long story short all the fourth Jens come out of the factory with these Lugnuts that have that coating on them to keep them shiny and silver. This coding swells with temperature and makes it impossible to get a normal lug wrench on them when it’s anything above -40 Kelvin. It was a true pain in the.(pick your favorite body part)
Other threads have suggested replacements and I just put all 24 on the other day so the next time I have a roadside flat it won’t take me all day just to get the Lugnuts off
If you regularly drive far from home and don’t want to wait for AAA, do yourself a favor and go get yourself a new set of Lugnuts that do not swell.
For more information, just do a search for the Lugnuts and look at the other three threads on this forum.
