I always use an impact socket, after having a bad experience with an ordinary socket.

How tight were the wheel nuts/bolts?  ???  ???

LOL, when I bought this car, I broke a socket trying to undo the fronts.

As above, or are they both ok?

Cheers

How about one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=extend+wheel+brace You can get them for bu66er all, certainly cheap enough to buy one for the boot of all your cars.  :y :y :y

These are good and I have one, alhough the cheap quality shows in the sockets..... I've rounded my 17" on some particulary tight knuts...  :o
