[W126 Coupe] how difficult can it be to change a tire...

[Jan Michael Kubr]

So I got a new set off BF Goodrich tires at costco ($381 installed) but 
turns out they were unable to get one nut off on the front right tire. 
They sent me to another shop but even they, after trying 3 different 
guns, could not get it off.

So once I find a shop that can get the damn thing off, most likely 
something will have broken. Now I was told (and not having a service 
manual handy) that if one of the bolts breaks, I'd have to replace the 
backplate to which all five bolts are attached..  any truth to that?
