Bjorn,
I agree, that's the socket to have. The work load put
on my impact is removing over tightened and rusted lug
nuts. Sometime I have to resort to some heat on the nuts.
When a buyer leaves here with a truck, I let them know to
call road service if they have a flat because the OEM bar
and wrench will be useless to them.
A neat rick to save work when a flat is on an outside
rear is to place a short 2"x8" (or 10") piece of wood
in front of the inside tire and drive up on it. Don't
have to use a jack. Use the breaker bar to lift the
replacing tire and wheel onto the hub. Saves the back :)
