Message	I know from experience that using a regular socket is a real bitch to get on. Plus htey slip real easy once you do get them on. I bought a spark plug socket and it went right on with no issues. The rubber in the bottom of the socket grips on the wheel lock and helps turn it. I had it off in a matter of minutes using the spark plug socket.
