A couple of years ago while heading to the ramp for a day of boating I had a small tire issue. The lug nuts were so rusted in place that I snapped 3 studs trying to remove the wheel. I ended up getting it off, buying a new tire, and after installing it I drove home with only two studs with nuts in place holding the wheel on. Kind of ruined my day of boating!
I have different trailers now, but since that day I have taken the nuts off every year and put some grease on the studs.
