Jacking up
#31
swa,
No problem mate. You have to do them up to "just-right" tightness. That's the tightness you get just between "not-tight-enough" and "too-tight", obviously, this is before "too-tight-by-far" and "oh-my-god-I-killed-my-wheelnut-stud-!-you-barsteward!" tightness!

(IIRC it's actually ~80 [thingys], can't remember if [thingys] are lb ft or nm though, sorry.)

PS: Your locking wheelnuts may require a different torque setting to the normal nuts. I suspect you don't want to tighten them as much, as this can risk breaking the locking mechanism. Check the instructions for the lockers.

Swa,
You got your daft answer then.
Tsk, some people eh?
blubs
ps. you could do them to 'too tight by far' and then slacken them 'just a tad' to gain the correct.....er, thingy setting

Just a semi-serious point here. Years ago I had locking wheel nuts on the car, after quite a long period of time I have to remove the wheels....change brake pads or something, only to find that the locking wheel nut sleeve had fused to the metal of the wheel nut making removal almost impossible. A pair of mole grigs and tin of spinach required to remove. It may be worthwhile regularly lubricating your nuts (oh errr).

PS - If you have a dog you could train it to p1ss on each wheel on a regular basis, but this may not work I probably need more Scoobie technical advise on this one.

I think SusyQ does have knowledge of Markus' nuts......I think she's his girlfriend!
I followed the clues, ie. previous postings, her e mail addy, his website etc......
Thanks for keeping us all amused Markus

Looks like SuzyQ and I have been rumbled (oo-err!)
As guessed correctly she is my much better half.
Be careful out there boys, she's a mean driver!
