The tires are the OG set that came with the trailer, so they are LONG past overdue. Fortunately, Tiny hasn’t moved around much, but the last thing I need is to get her on the road and have one or more of the old rubber donuts blow out.

Three of the 4 came off without a hitch but that last one’s last lugnut refused to budge. I was cranking on my impact wrench and no luck. After some head-scratching, I figured I’d get some Break-Free and that would do the job.

None of the local shops had any in stock, so we looked for the “second best” option, and it turned out to be a winner.

PB B’Laster

This stuff is incredible. We soaked the hell out of that nut and waited for 5 minutes, then soaked it again and waited for a minute.

As soon as I pulled the trigger on the impact wrench, the lugnutcame right off.

The only downside to PB B’Laster is you have to double-bag it in a ziploc when transporting it, otherwise the residue in the tube will fill the car with toxic fumes and give you The Cancer within, like, minutes.
