Me too. After getting new tires, and instructing the shop to properly torque the wheels, I needed to perform some maintenance. I attempted to unscrew the lug nuts with my breaker bar to no avail. I had to stand on the end of the breaker bar to loosen them. I was really pissed off about that.

Some tire monkeys clain to properly torque wheen nuts but really all they do is run them on with an impact wrench, at a fantastically high value, and then check it with a torque wrench at a lower value. Dolts!

I watched a pro do some brake maintenance the other day. It was incredible!
