I tried putting on a lug while the tire was already on the car and the other lugs were tightened and the lug got cross threaded - %$#@!! Is there any way to repair these other than go buy the tap and use it once? I tried to insert a lug several times and I could feel that it was not going in right - Any Ideas??

Did it work?
I am in a similar predicament, the soda blasting place is 40 miles away.. I'm going to have to rent a uhaul and coordinate 3-5 friends to carry it on and off the trailer. (it's a bare tub, EVERYTHING is off, so there won't be any rolling going on) |
