Luckily we noticed the blown tyre and drove the trailer to a gas station before the rim got to the road surface!
Who would have known that one stubborn lug nut could not be unscrewed! Michael and Roger tried with all their strength but somehow it wouldn't come out. We even tried to pull the lug nut out using the force of a moving car but it only shake the trailer!
A motor insurance company was called but for some reasons the service guy was not able to help us.
There was no choice but to grind that particular bolt that had the impossible and dead-locked lug nut on! We didn't have a grinder and it had to be purchased miles away!
The guy who borrowed us his trailer wanted it back by early afternoon Saturday. The tyre burst about 3 pm. He is lucky that he didn't end up dealing with that difficult tyre because it was definitely due to go!
