You do know that if you went to a tire shop they could have removed it for $20. I had this happen last year.

I think the OP is just posting the story and not subject of this mishap.

What an Idiot. Most shops can remove it like said above without destroying the rim.

Haha he cut his wheel spoke, wow.

I have a stripped lug bolt I need to replace. Really hoping I dont end up like this guy. I watched my friends dad replace his lug bolt in 20 minutes.

LOL….I broke my Mcgard security bolt when I tried to hand tightened them. Don’t take it off yourself. Go to any garage and they can take it off for around $20-$40.

Don’t ever buy McGard lugs. I ordered Gorilla security lugs and they are stronger than your standard lugs.
