<description><![CDATA[markwp2001 posted : I was rotating tires today, and put on the small spare on the front.  I put on the lug nuts by hand and then tightened them down by hand not too hard.  When I went to remove them, one won't come off.  It was not tightened down all the way, there is about a quarter turn of play in it, but it won't come off any further.  Short of tightening the others down and limping to my mechanic tomorrow, any suggestions?<br><br>2000 Accord, 4 lug nuts per wheel, non locking.]]></description>
