Default Problems with the Tire Changing Kit

Hey,

This must be an odd problem, and may have never happened.

I opened my trunk for the first time today to take off one of my wheels for fun... (well, not really...but i've never done it before, so I'd thought might as well try)

except..

NONE OF THE TOOLS IN THE BOX FITS THE BOLTS ON THE WHEEL?!?!?!?!

am i delusional? or had too much jack daniels?

Thanks

Using Jack Daniels for changing a tire is not a good thing! You need to use the car jack!

Perhaps you have custom wheels with cutom lug-nuts and the standard/factory kit needs "upgrading" to match.

If you have never taken the wheels off the car, you may be forgetting to remove the plastic caps that go on the wheel nuts. There sould be a tool in the kit to take off the plastic caps. If not, use a paint can opener
