Did the cleanup and it's definitely flat. I got the thing jacked up and tried loosening the lug nuts--but failed. After many tries, I think the socket I have (13/16") is just slightly too big. It wobbles a bit when placed all the way in. A 3/4" won't go on the nuts, so maybe I need metric? Seems 20 mm would be the size just less than 13/16". Does that make any sense? My bigger concern is that I'v probably rounded off the nuts from trying too many times to turn them with the socket I have. Any suggestions on how to go at this? -- Ted Heise West Lafayette, IN, USA
