Guess how many lug bolts I snapped in the late 60s, as a kid, before I even
thought that they could have done that sadistic trick.

BTW, the good news is that the new lug bolts went in so easily I couldn't
believe my luck that this is the easiest repair ever.

Still, one side was reverse threaded (where you only notice the L and R
stamped on the end of the lug bolt if you know to look for it).

It had never occurred to me that they would put one side on with reverse
threads. And that's *after* taking a auto mechanic class in high school as
an elective.
