I recall traveling to a gig in Holberg. (way the F up there on
Vancouver Island) One of the band cars had a blow out. (rotted
sidewall)The lug nuts were *really* tight. Someone suggested putting a
support under the tire iron to keep it from slipping off. Made sense
to me.


If one is holding on to the gutter doing the old axle nut thing, I
imagine putting a sturdy support under the socket would be helpful.
