I have made 4 separate attempts to mount new tires. I researched the "Swollen Lug Nut" issue and purchased 10 new lug nuts as well as a 18.5MM x 19.5MM Flip Socket for the shop to use. That has even failed and my new tires are still not installed. I have spent in excess of $85 for these lug nuts and flip socket.
Lug Nuts outer casing were swelled or distorted, not allowing removal to change a flat tire. After talking with a local Ford dealership, that said they sometimes have to hammer on the socket (19mm) to remove lug nut. This cause a safety issue just to remove let alone get out of the socket. The tire could not be repaired, so I had all four replaced, after having the one replaced, to drive the car. With the lug nuts distorted / out of dimensional shape, the integrity of getting them properly locked (torqued) back down is the safety issue. How can you trust they are properly locked down? I looked this issue up, which is a know issue, yet no recall. How is one to know this is an issue? Thankfully I was not on the side of busy highway. It is unsafe to remove, let along reinstall. Trying to remove...
