Re: [VAC] UN-Stuck lug nuts on Aluminum wheels.



Gary,
 I frankly hadn't considered how the DuraTorque axles will hold up a
'flat' tire. However, as you suggest, simply drive the 'flat' tire onto
your leveling blocks to lock it in place. Also, you can try the brakes
to see if they'll hold the wheel under these conditions; pull the pin in
the breakaway switch if you're alone, but don't leave it out longer than
necessary. You'll find something interesting when you do this: the wheel
will turn slightly before the brakes lock it up. This fact will only be
surprising if you've not looked at how they work, of course. :-)
