Hey guys, I have an issue everytime I try to change out my wheels where the 13/16 socket just doesn't fit the lugs quite right. I always end up getting the socket stuck on the lug and it takes me at least 5 minutes on every lug trying to get it off. Anyone have a similar experience with any ideas on how to keep this from happening?

You need to go metric ... can't recall the mm size though off-hand.

Are you still on the crappy Ford soft cap lug nuts? Those are the worst I've ever had on a vehicle. When I bought my EBPP (used with only 9k miles on it) I had to use 3 different size sockets to remove the oem lugnuts. Replaced them with some quality all metal ones and never had an again.

Yes I am, good to know. I'll have to check out some replacement options.
