12mm wheel studs a warning


Recommended Posts

lets face it most special tools and torque requirements are there to allow semi skilled to do more exacting jobs reliably.

most spanners are made to a length so an average hand pull is quite adequate, some jobs do need to be controlled a bit to keep things optimum or evenly pulled up .

One of those semi skilled muppets at a tyre centre in Stevenage managed to strip 3 nuts across 2 wheels on my GT6 trying to put 110 lbs on them - thought a Ford Focus spec would be about right... I'm still on the original studs!

 

Since then I've left the car at home and taken only the wheels to have tyres put on, before reattaching myself!
