You know why I don’t trust the dip stick in my Mazda? It says FOMOCO.

Pretty sure you’re not supposed to take the lug nuts off with a hammer and chisel

Yup looks like swollen nuts ;). Those looks like the two piece lug nuts I was referring to in your earlier post. If you can strip the chrome caps off, you might still have usable lug nuts underneath.

my nuts were swollen

I guess this is a common problem with these cars. I had to hammer the socket onto the nuts to get it on. Then once the nut was off, it was stuck in the socket so I had to hold the socket with vice grips and bang the nut out. I got a whole new set of nuts

i was afraid of getting a flat and not being able to get the lugs off so I swapped out all of them today

Good call. I’ve seen quite a few shitty swollen lug nuts on cars that come into our shop. I had a similar thing happen on my 2000 Sebring 5 or so years ago. They never got bad enough to have to swap them out, but they would stick in the socket every once in a while.so it’s not just ford.

I think you got lugnut cancer.
