makes me think of an instance with my car. I have always changed on my own my summer to winter tires (each on own rims) and a few summers back I got new tires, the shop where I got them put them on and put the wheels on the car.
A few months later going to visit a friend out of town, I got a flat on one of the new tires. When trying to get the wheel off at the side of the highway, I used my usual X shaped lug remover, penetrating oil, took me so much damn work to get the bolts loose I even strained my back.

So, put itsy bitsy spare on, front tire btw, drive at 80k or 50mph to my friends for a few hours. When there the next day, we tried to find a store open on sunday to get a replacement. Couldnt find same tire, so I decided to drive home slowly with the spare on, but wanted to put it on the back of the car instead of front.

we go to switch tires, and my friend who weighs 280, strong as heck, cant get the bolts loose on one of the rears, he works on cars often and so gets a long pipe from his backyard so he could loosen them iwth all his strength---end of story, some mechanics really go nuts and either dont give a rats ass (lets see her get that off , like that quote) or are just clueless with an air gun (2 or 3 PFT)

another reason I like working on my own bikes.

oh, I dont buy the seized theory, too soon, six months and you arent riding thru salt with it.
