Hi all, just joined and new Lexus owner.
Amazed I was, when I tried to take a wheel off.
I have 3 different wrenches which seem the right size, one came with the car, one was a multi lug wrench from my old car, and a socket wrench.
However, ALL of them just seemed to strip the nuts
because the wheel didnt leave enough room to get the
socket deep enough around the lug nut to apply the force necessary.
This is very unsafe, if we have a flat out on the road, we are stuck.
So my only thought is to buy a new set of lug nuts with the taller size
socket grip area. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you solve it?
