in the battery tray?

 

That's where mine is. I think you'll find it a bit inadequate though.

 

Mine is in the tote with the wheel chocks in the tailgate door (tight fit though).

 

okay thanks...

 

Mine is in the tote with the wheel chalks in one of my side bins in the cargo area.

 

Do yourself a favor and get a 24" breaker bar from Harbor Freight and a 27mm or 1 1/16" 6 sided socket and keep that in the back. If your lug nuts are damaged you may need a 28mm socket. You will just end up hurting yourself if you try using the factory tire iron.

 

lol...okay

 

this is good advice. I was using such a setup today. I used a long metal tube over the breaker bar for extra leverage. It was a part from a trampoline. And it was still almost impossible to budge it. Finally got it after about 20 tries. I don’t recommend an impact gun but in this case I used it a little bit. You can strip off the lug nut cap if you don’t use a 6 point socket.

 

Wow. Is this a record for a zombie thread?

But as a serious response, I am frequently frustrated trying to remove fasteners that were ridiculously overtightened. Buy an inexpensive torque wrench (e.g. Harbor Freight) and tighten the wheel nuts to 103 lb.-ft. as specified.

 

Agreed. Particularly the torque wrench.
but skip the imperial socket and just get the correct metric one.
And I always tell mechanics not to use air tools on the lugs, rips the hell out of them.
