Lugnuts are over rated. I drove my F150 for a day with only 1 on each of
the left side wheels.
No idea why Ford put 6 on each wheel.

My 84 190D had a stripped bolt hole in each rear hub. I put 90,000 miles on it
like that...
Might see if a sharp chisel could tap out the broken one. Try a little heat and
oil first.

original spare on and did not tighten the bolts as it was a bit wobbly

rusted in there, and one sheared off in the hub. I guess that means
that I will need to drill it out if I decide to do something with the
car, and then chase the other holes with a tap? And the lug bolts are
half rusty where they were not fully seated, I have never done that
electrolysis thing but wonder if that might be the way to clean them up
unless they are some weird metal or plated or galvanized or something?
Any ideas?
