You're on a car forum, but don't know what steel wheels or wheel nuts are, and are wondering how hard it is to change a wheel
Pf intellect is once again brimming

If you read up the post, For some strange reason i thought i'd have to change the Studs. No idea why when it wasn't mentioned. One of those days with serious memory laps. Still feel shitty today.
