The best way to get it off is to apply an impact to it. short hammer bursts.. not steady pressure.

Yeap. For this reason, and the reason that my car is low enough that they'll fuck it up.

Thanks Jay. We'll have to meet up. Hit some golf balls too while we're at it.

I was so ready to have some fun too...bought myself a floor jack and everything.

Knew it was an impact wrench/air gun...just was so livid at the time I couldn't think of the name.

Spill the beans, what shop was it so we can avoid them?

I have anti seize on my studs just in case of things like this. The guys at Discount Tire have the torque specs for every car printed on the work order and my old boss at the Miramar location was anal about doing things to spec. I recommend that place if you need tires.
