There was a tire shop a couple of blocks away but it was almost 5 PM on Friday. I couldn't talk them into doing an alignment so I asked for a handful of shims.

I backed the nuts off a half round and, by trial and error, installed shims until they would tighten at a half turn back. It has still not been realigned to this day with no uneven tire wear. Not recommended but it worked.
OL. You must be living right is all i can say.
