That is right. A local shop fixed a flat for me for free. Later that week, I needed to remove the same wheel in my shop. It took everything I had to break all 5 lug bolts free with 1/2 inch breaker bar and a cheater at the end of that.
No way anybody would have been able do that on the roadside, at night with regular hand tools.
