A nut started crooked is a different problem from a nut that is stuck, and the two feel similar enough that people treat them the same way. If a nut is put on at a slight angle and then driven home with a gun, it cuts its own path across the existing threads. From that point on it binds all the way in and all the way out, rather than only tightening at the end, and every attempt to move it does more damage to the stud.
The tell is the feel. A corroded nut is immovable and then suddenly free. A cross-threaded one grinds the whole way and gets no easier. Forcing that is how studs snap, so it wants recognising early. It comes off slowly and carefully with the thread supported, and the stud gets inspected afterwards, because a stud that has had its thread ploughed up is not one to simply put another nut on and hope.
The worst time to find out the key has gone is at the roadside with a flat. Stopped on the B1169, a spare in the boot and one nut that will not turn is about as unhelpful as a car gets. Same tools in Ramnoth Road as in Walsoken, same on every call. Valve in Elm, balance in Waterlees, pressures before we go.

Wisbech is surrounded by open Fenland, so a car with a wheel that will not come off is a car a long way from anywhere with a ramp. That is the argument for doing it where the vehicle stands, whether that is a driveway on Ramnoth Road, a yard on the Cromwell Road industrial area or the roadside on a lane out towards Elm.
Not corrosion. Something has cut across the thread and the nut is fighting all the way along it, which is a very different problem from a nut that is simply seized at the seat.
Once the thread has been damaged, the next nut will not torque properly however tight it feels. That gets flagged rather than glossed over.
These usually turn up when somebody needs a wheel off in a hurry. The car does not have to move, which matters when the alternative is a drive across open country on a doubtful tyre.
It binds all the way rather than only tightening at the end. A seized nut is stuck and then free. A cross-threaded one grinds continuously.
Quite possibly, which is why it wants recognising early. Slow, supported removal is the approach rather than more leverage.
We will tell you. A ploughed thread will not hold torque properly and needs proper attention rather than another nut wound onto it.
