| Description of the problem | Diver's side front tire when flat. I was unable to remove the lug nut with the supplied lug wrench. The 2-part lugs had swelled making the lug wrench unusable. Was able to remove the lugs with a personal tool set in the rear of the truck. Went to a ford dealer and was advised to change my lug nuts to a solid aftermarket lug. Dealer said this is a common problem that can leave people stranded. |
