Pro tip BCH !
I always get nokians at Kal so they swap winters over for free as long as you mount them on rims so you never have to deal with this shit until one day you get a flat
I also carry a 4' long breaker bar in the back of the truck to fit my lugnut wrenchLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

I used to deal with this with my tundra. If memory serves, I used the Sledge and 2x4 trick for a while but also had success loosening lugs and lowering the truck back onto the wheels. A little weight would loosen it up. I don't think it worked every time, but it usually did.

Not necessarily a pro tip, but I swapped the engine on my riding lawnmower today and was incredibly thankfully for my pneumatic impact wrench. It probably saved me an hour on only 4 bolts. I use that thing for everything. I don't know why I haven't bought cordless impact wrench yet. I think I might do it right now.

Nothing wrong with greasing the mating surfaces of hubs - wheels if they are binding up on you.

If a wheel is frozen on a hub just loosen the nuts and drive for a 100 feet while you "rock the boat" with the steering wheel. No other tools needed. Put a dab of anti seize grease where the wheel and hub mate.
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

Where I live roads are heavily salted in the winter, and swapping off snow tires used to involve a lot of pounding, prying, and cursing. Not a single problem since I started using anti-seize compound ~10 years ago. I only put it on the mating surfaces, not the bolts.

An alloy wheel on an iron hub is the worst. Anti seize is the cure. Beat away if you like to sweat and swear. Loosening the lug nuts a turn or two then driving 100 feet erratically is my Pro Tip.

Not a tip per se, but tire manufactures say worn tires aren’t nearly as bad as we think and that tires shouldn't be replaced until they reach 2/32nds of an inch.
I don't think this is true for snow where tread depth matters but if people are swapping tires anyway...
Looking for new tires? Pump your brakes.

I tried to squeeze one more winter out of my AT tires, and managed to flat on the way to the hill on the last pow day of the year. Tire place wouldnt fix my tire because it was too bald. I came 99.99% of the way to perfectly timing tire replacement haha. Its amazing what conditions 4wd and careful driving will allow you drive safely in.

Since I didn't have, nor know where to get, a 'square nut driver', I used a 1/4" hex driver in a flipped 1/4" socket for a 1/4" ratchet.
The hand crank blender rips now, but my wife rolled her eyes (ie, 'you're a dumb ass' look) and stated that the blender was designed for hand cranking speeds, not high speeds. We'll see how long this guy lasts.Best regards, Terry

The whistler weasels were famous for their course-marker-drill powered margarita blender

I put a little motor oil on my studs when rotating tires before screwing /tightening lugs. Is this bad?
