This is correct. I do it at work all the time. try using both standard and metric. I have even had cases where a socket has fit perfectly and they come right off.

Let me know if you want to do it. I'm headed to to El Monte to take it to a tire shop. If you can do it on the spot I'd pay you for your service. If you want to drop by just PM me your # and I'll give you a call.
