I am utterly perplexed. I've been working on vehicles all of my life - everything from large trucks to expensive sports cars and I've never seen anything like this.
I was removing my wheels to install my AAL and I snapped, not a 2nd, but a third lug at the threads!
I know what most of you are thinking; "He must be using an impact wrench and he cross-threaded the lug nut when he put it on."
True, I'm using an impact wrench, but I ALWAYS thread my lugs by hand/fingers first before I torque them down.
I am just astounded by how easily I've snapped these off and I don't know how it happened [again] to be honest.
Please tell me I am not the only one having this problem or I am going to feel like an idiot (my wife would say I'm an idiot anyway...).
