Just tried to switch to the winter tires, broke my torque wrench, mad at the guys who did the brakes back in August.
The bolts won't budge.
I will take the car back to them and ask them to back them off.
Should I ask for compensation on a broken wrench?

Well I'll be, I have reached the ripe age of 53 to only today find out that I should not use a torque wrench to loosen a bolt!!!
Holly Jolly day! Thanks gents, I guess I will shut my big mouth when I take it back there.
I will then buy a breaker bar and a new torque wrench.
I feel a bit stupid.

I got a ratchet breaker bar at Bimmerfest a few years back. It’s amazing! Something like this.
Yes, just what I was looking up. Thanks Shawn.

Put the winter wheels on at 116,450 miles.
Did manage to plant my eyelid on the front quarter panel pretty hard while tightening the right front wheel studs with my busted torque wrench
Had it at ~90lbs/in. and it let go all of a sudden in mid effort, my head when down and my glasses went crooked into the eye socket. I thought I had broken them onto my face but all good. Might have a black eye tomorrow.
Pretty funny story if you ask me. I am now buying a torque wrench and a prybar.

It would have been better had it been on video tape. It'd be a classic.
