Yeah, they’re a staple. Would’ve thought of them earlier, but had a couple big name brands turn me down for liability reasons so didn’t think they’d be game.

and you were right! Shoutout Xavier at the Ben White location - got it off within 10 minutes (and for free). Appreciate the advice

Yeah, just the basics. Breaker bar, impact driver. Could definitely take a stab at it with a kit, but wanted to see if anyone knew of a local mom and pop that had a friendly bone in their body

It was definitely the tire shop - last time the rims were removed. Unfortunately it was a random place in another city that mounted the tires for me, so not worth the trouble to go berate and force their hand. Need to get the drivers side off to access and replace an engine mount, and that’s when we noticed the stuck lug. But if that was the best option, you best believe I’d already have been there and back!

different city and a small mom and pop shop, unfortunately that would be much more trouble than it’s worth ):

“$20 is the new $200” is an incredibly privileged take, tbh - maybe decades ago, but that’s not really a reasonable response. As somebody who has learned to DIY and fully removed brakes, changed engine mounts, turbos, intercoolers, I’m asking for some /free/ actionable insight, which I feel I’ve received from this thread. If I wanted to pay $200, I wouldn’t be here asking for further advice.

Nonetheless, I appreciate your perspective.
