Anyone had this problem????
Well to make a long story short I got a flat tire that was previously plugged on I-95S. I got the spare out and all the tools and when I tried to take the nut caps off I discovered I didn't have the tool to do that in my kit. So to my advantage a fellow audi driver pulls over to my assistance in an 03 A4. He had a pair of pliers to get the nuts off. Then I attempted to take the foot long wrench and unscrew the five bolts. I put my whole bodyweight into getting the bolt loose but it wasn't having it. Finally the guy helping me goes in his trunk where he has a 2ft piece of pipe and I had to use it to get the nuts off. Now the screws were a little rusty, but a mechanic had that same tire off twice in the past two days. Do you need to carry a pipe of will wire brushing each screw resolve my problem. Thank god for the assistance!!!!!

I tried to take my tire off the other day to inspect my control arms and I couldnt get some of the lugnuts to come loose with an impact wrench... I had to bring it to a tire shop to get them loose
