Trying to improvise could result in:
* Stripped lug nuts: Improvised tools often lack the proper grip and can easily damage the lug nuts, rendering them unusable and requiring replacement.
* Damaged wheel studs: Excessive force could bend or break the wheel studs that hold the spare in place.
* Injury: Applying significant force to unscrew lug nuts without the right tools can lead to hand injuries.
In short: Don't try it. Find the correct tool, borrow one from a friend or neighbor, or call a roadside assistance service. Trying to remove the spare without the proper tools will almost certainly cause more problems and expense than simply getting the right tool.
