This evening I figured I'd swap the wheels on my Bimmer. It was cold, the light was fading but I thought "Meh, 20 minute job"
I got round to the 3rd wheel and found that whatever monkey had put the wheel on before had set his air gun torque to "turn earth backwards". Not only this, but the locking wheel nut was evidently done up with the same insane torque.
Anyway, the inevitable happened and the locking bolt adapter twisted off and is looking very mangled.
So I swore a lot, downed tools and came in the warm to ask my retro-rides compadres to cheer me up with some pics of awesome retro wheels.
Tomorrow I'll get the impact wrench on the sucker, then the set of anti-theft nuts are coming off and going in the bin.
What ya got?
