Revenge of the lug nut: Kitsap County man gets hurt when he blasts car
wheel with shotgun

The Associated Press

SOUTHWORTH, Kitsap County - A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut
blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in
both legs, Kitsap County sheriff's deputies said.

The 66-year-old man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two
weeks at his home northwest of Southworth and east of Port Orchard and
had gotten all but one of the lug nuts off the right rear wheel before
getting frustrated Saturday afternoon, Deputy Scott Wilson said.

"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said.

From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel and
was "peppered" in both legs with shot and other debris, with some
injuries as high on his body as his chin, according to a sheriff's
office report.

"Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said.

South Kitsap Fire and Rescue personnel treated the man at the scene
before he was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with injuries Wilson
described as "severe but not life-threatening."

So, did the wheel explode on him also? Or was it just the ricocheting
stuff?

I have been in that state of mind at times in my life. I was just lucky
that I didn't get caught, as this guy did.

We were probably educated in the same movie theaters as kids. I recall that
in the cowby pictures at that time, it was common for someone to shoot the
lock off a door to gain entrance.

them self determination under "play nice" rules.

I've always used my oxyacetylene torch for rusty stubborn bolts.
Since then, I bought an electric impact tool that works well on even
the most stubborn bolts.

Probably just ricochet. The curved profile and lip of the wheel would
act as a reverse track for it, channeling the shot. Whadda maroon.

It looks to be a planetary gear setup.

Hmmm. A five pound hammer and a cold chisel has never failed to work for
me. Split the nut, then replace the stud if it was spinning or if your
aim was off a skosh.

I've never seen a spinning stud, only a threadless nut spinning on a
good stud. I guess it could happen, though. More often than not, the
lugnut welds itself to the wheel, not the stud.
