What grease for wheel nuts?

[mr.tourette]

Never had wheel nut problems, greased or not. Have had locking nuts stuck, though.

Presumably because the adaptor failed. As a result of galvanic corrosion, poor design, whatever, I don't know. (I don't take wheels off cars. That's what the AA and garages are for.)


I do know that the last failure cost me £100+ to remove two stuck locking nuts and for a new set and an adaptor. So, am thinking of abandoning locking nuts altogether and going without.

its what I've done on my last few cars, almost designed to cause you a problem at some point, awful things

If you put nut covers on, the security nut just looks odd.
I got rid before some wrench monkey broke it.

Yup, about three white knuckles does it for me. :wink:

With your picture and that quote it sounds like we both work/worked for the same organisation!
