I own3d myself temporaily
Well, i put my steelies on for winter time and today i put my summer wheels back on. I put one on fine, i go for the 2nd and i can't get a couple lugnuts on, wtf ?!?!?! So, i try another wheel and the same thing. Here when i put my steelies on i over torqued them and the studs actually bent outwards away from the center cap
So, i took off the wheel and threaded on a lugnut, put the socket on a 2ft extension and gently bent them back. I was hoping i wasn't gonna have to heat them with torches.....otherwise i would have to get new studs.
Anyway, i got it fixed and my wheels are back on.
So now you can learn from my mistake
