View Full Version : Don't let your mate
tighten your wheel nuts!
After a day on the Lolvo replacing repairing a bent tie bar (me plus curb) brake hoses, calipers, front struts and fitting my awesome Defender 90 front shocks to the rear we bled the brakes and replaced the wheels...

Dented wing and fcuked rim (elongated nut holes) I was more concerned when my wheel bounced off the curb and about 6' up in the air!
If only I hadn't been so knackered last night and had checked his work!

The poor thing :( if it had been a nova though it would be a write off lol
Ooopsies!
When I'm tightening mates wheelnuts I usually overtighten them a bit though lol .
When its not my own car I usually get carried away and tighten them twice :wtf:
