Got up stupidly early this morning to replace the Ka's wheels, knowing that one of the offside rear wheel nuts was on so tight it would be a _real_ bugger. Anyway, heaving and straining, it came loose with a jolt, my hands slipped, my Wedding band snagged on a knuckle then spun off. Now that hurt, but it landed, bounced, then dropped into a drain... why get all smelly when you could have driven about with only 3 wheel nuts on (i know, but i'm just waiting for someone else to say it ) Hehehehe - but it was my wedding ring! :-/ and there i was thinking you were getting into a flap about losing a wheel

nut
you will have to enlighten me further in a few weeks time

So after much cursing, lifting, straining, and mirth from the neighbours I'm sure, I've got it back, got the wheels on, but I smell really, really bad.... i don't have a problem with wheel nuts being too tight i simply use the 3/4 drive torque wrench (you know, the big 43 inch long bugger) and if they don't come off, they normmaly need a new studd after the other ones broken off -- The DervMan www.dervman.com
