    That looks like a 2 piece wheel that was loose. Container chassis?

    Pickup and trailers are common for busting studs.

    That’s why some carry spares in their tool boxes.

    I’ve seen this a lot. They can only be removed and re-torqued so many times before they start getting weak or just plain old and weak then break off.

    Or not torqued properly.

    Yeah I'd like to slap the idiot who rotates the tires at the local Ford dealer. Last time my 1/2" impact (rated at 1,200) barely busted the lugs loose.

    AmodelCat:

    that has happened to me too. 1,000 ft/lb 1/2” impact couldn’t get the lug nuts off.

    Had to jump on a Johnson bar with my weight and some studs broke. :mad:
