About 2 years ago I ended up buying a breaker bar to remove the wheel bolts after getting new Tyres from Jax Quickfit in Bondi Junction. When I complained to The gorilla-sized bloke working at Jax, I was told the bolts were not overtightened at all and if they are loose enough to allow removal using hand tools (by a normal sized human) it doesn't provide adequate safety
. Now I use a torque wrench I discovered there shouldn't be any difficulty at all to remove if torqued correctly.
