I had to change a whole set of locking nut some time back. And again, after 3 weeks, another set...I have been able to lossen the 2 rear ones, but need to go to the tyre garage for them to loosen the 2 front.

:lol: i noticed that when I tried to get my calipers painted too

No clearly not, obviously you use the gun to undo them. In this conversation we were dicussing over-tighting not undoing and what I said is why people end up with wheel nuts that are over tightened

:rolleyes:

Why in the hell do they persit on putting wheel nuts on with buzz guns :o

Went to paint my calipers today and i cant get the nuts to budge whats so ever. Dont these people have brains, what if i got a puncture somewhere, i would have been fecked. Now i will need to go to them in the morning and get them to slacken them off :(

Rant over :lol:
