    Toss in a can of AeroKroil
    for good measure to
    Kroil's great stuff for easing old fasteners. An old machinist recommended it to me once.

    For anyone who works on their own stuff, a light coat of anti-sieze compound on the threads of all the wheel lugs is the real preventive for lug nut issues. Good to put a little on the wheel to lug nut interface as well.

    I was just going to ask why you guys are all using breaker bars instead of the supplied tire changing tools, but then I just remembered that I use a long ratchet for wheel work. Definitely more convenient. 4" extension, as well.

    Also not mentioned but always proves useful is the excessive use of foul and profane language to the point that would make a sailor blush.

    Also works in getting them sammiches made in a more prompt and timely manner.

    Try it, you'll see the difference 👍

    The fellow was also thinking safety as that appears to be a GFCI box.

    ^^^ I would totally do that. Or put a stub of pipe on that tee, get one of those caps, you know, and drill a hole in it, then glue in a piece of the small-diameter pipe with some PVC cement. The solution above is more elegant though.

    I have certainly utilized some creative PVC fitting combinations over the years… In a pinch you use what you have;-)

    Then put them in a museum, instead of on the top of a pair of speakers.
