Lug Nuts

After 6 years got new tires for our 2018 Montana. Lug nuts are 1/2 x 20 and are 19mm or 13/16 sockets size. Could not get either on the old lug nuts. My brother who owns his own auto repair shop told me to use the 19mm socket and get a LARGE hammer and pound the socket on. It worked. What happens is the nuts open ended chrome and the chrome cover expands due to age and weather. Nut came off easy once pounded on. I bought new solid steel/chrome closed end lug nuts and they work fine. Also with my rims the sockets seem really tight so I use a shallow wall socket. You don't want to me on the side of the road changing a tire and can't get the lug nuts off. Just a heads up.
