Unhappy Watford idiots wheel nuts & studs

Muppets at local tyre fitting place cross threaded 3 of my nuts. (Sounds painful I know). They also put them on with airguns set to max torque.

Having a real fight to get some more nuts of correct size & shape, now resorting to main dealer in Aylesbury.

Question is, does anyone know of a place that cares about such details as wheel nut torque in Watford area. I suspect not saddly.

It's raining and I just got some Toyos and I want to check them out !

My local dealer does them for £1 each for cash - although I've knacked a few nuts before and had to buy studs too, which are about £3 each.

Do you have to take the hubs off to change the studs, or is just a matter of a blow torch and a hammer ?
