locking wheel nuts

These Censored nuts almost landed me in the Censored . Knowing I had a 200 mile journey towing my boat and a wheel I couldn't change if I had a problem, don't want to do that again. Nut now removed free of charge thanks to the guys at Monarch garage Glasgow. I would strongly advise that the nuts are ditched, they won't be going on my car again! 2.7 HSE, Audi A6 Exec, Honda Accord Exec, Volvo 440, Volvo 360

Don't see the point in them really. Who carries a 2.5 ton jack around with them anyway to lift the car....... As said the amount of locking wheels nuts that have to be drilled off or chiselled off because of the nut Censored up.

Yep, bin 'em. The previous owner had already got rid of mine. My local tyre fitter was pleased to hear that they're gone too. Thumbs Up Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

In our garage the biggest problem is when some muppet has used the wrong sized socket on the nuts and damages the Crome !!! 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

I replaced all 4 locking nuts and a further 5 normal nuts that had swollen. Fortunately these were found when I had front & rear brakes replaced and the garage had to hammer them on/off.

I can now change my wheel if required! Lol 2006 HSE for Sale - £7,499 (Manchester)

The only problem with locking nuts is when some idiot tightens them up with a air gun,,when we tighten them up we only nip them up just over hand tight as the wheels are not going to drop off with 4 of the nuts tight.
