    Default Wheel nut bolts.

    Hey the other day 2 of the bolts tht the wheel nuts screw onto snap'd off...one was already rusted away...so basically only got 2 bolts holding a wheel on.

    not driving it of course lol.
    went down to the wreakers today and tried riping it all off...buh failed unfortunatly...

    you cant really get them out and reuse its swells the head of the stud when you hit it

    haha screw down two nuts and belt that , the swelled head on the other side still keeps much of its interference, but if your afraid chuck the bolts out in the rain and let it swell with rust

    yeh i was told to put one of the nuts on the end of it and hit tht so u dont stuff up the bolt.

    and my mate whos a 4th yr mec told me that they dont make them any more.
    so prob be a good idea to keep the old ones and what not.

    you only stuff it up if you have bad aim with a hammer, same with bashig out your lowerball joints and tierod ends. the bolt on the end is more like a set of training wheels for your bike
