So a month ago I changed my brakes, while on the last wheel... and last lug my brother was torquing all the lugs and shatter the end of the wrench around the lug. No tire shop had even heard/saw this and would not attempt to even try. Deeming it very unreliable in case I were to get a flat no way to take the wheel off. I spent countless times trying to bust of the pieces... first day I got one, shown in first two images, and today I finally was able to after 2 hours. Tools: Hanger, alan wrench, and cut/modified 13/16 socket, small and big flat head, hammer, pliers, and socket wrenches. Possilby had to be the most difficultist thing to do. All in all I am very happy, but now the thing is I can't find my lock nut socket, still in trouble if I get a flat. Misplaced it the day my lug wrench was shattered because I had no care in the world about that at the time, but atleast I can order a new one though. Thought I would share this since it was a rare terrible occasion. Ohh and the other best part was when I was using the modified socket, I ended up shatter a 3/8 extension as well (in pictures), ran to sears and they replaced it for free as they should have.

looks like someone needs some impact sockets and a long breaker bar

got that right, pretty much bent all the tools, but I couldn't be happier it is over. Really looks like I shouldn't allow my brother to tighten my lugs anymore, he is 330 lbs, and he pretty much uses it as much as he can.

100 ft/lbs is all you need
