Moisture, road treatment and previous shop work are behind most seized hardware in Philadelphia.
Requests in Philadelphia usually come from ordinary places: a shopping center lot in the middle of errands; a residential street with tight curbside parking; a university-area lot or street during the school year.
Stop turning a lug that is starting to round — every extra attempt makes removal harder and risks the stud.
