well had a great day not, frigging french crap

Postby mitch@evolution » Sat Jan 22, 2011 6:35 pm

well not used the car for a week but decided to give it a wash to not only find a new scratch on the car but to have the shity Renault valve hit me in the eye after touching it will the brush to clean the alloys, ok so was an issue but i though just jack it up take the wheel off and get a new valve in it but OH NO, i find that both locking wheel nuts have been sheered my im guessing being gunned at Renault when i had the brakes done so now i cant remove the wheel or get to work next week until i order a new locking nut now can i even keep the car jack up really as there doesnt seem to be a great place to but the axle stand.

So all in all a not such a big problem but something thats going to cause me a huge problem for possible over a week, doesnt help im supposed to be moving house in a week to boot.

Laughed at this...

Yea a gun will be at fault. Had the same problem but half the bolt was left in the Hub.

Options were drill it out and re tap the whole, or new hub.

I went for a new hub.

Bolts should ALWAYS be hand tightened in the first instance.
