Moral 5: Never push down on the lugnut to loosen it, my older brother broke two of his knuckles that way. Actually, he was tightening them and his torque wrench broke and he punched the pavement and broke his knuckles. But either way, be careful, even little jobs like changing a tire can be a health hazard.

Sucks about your lug too dude, I hate that for ya.

I dont know if I can remember a time working on my car when I didnt bust my knuckles on something. Its just bound to happen. When im trying to get something like that off that wont budge, i'll usually put the breaker bar parallel to the ground, then use my body weight (if a cheater bar wont work, or if I dont have one).

bit of a difference in busting your knuckles and breaking two of them. :?
