Stainless Wheel Nuts

Range Rovers/Discos/Defenders don't have stainless nuts.

What they have is steel nuts with a stainless cover.

blind nuts may ease the binding problem by stopping entry of grit etc but they certainly can't solve it as the problem is the nature of stainless steel itself. galling will always be some sort of issue.

keep them lubed and it isnt an issue but .....

I use standard nuts , they've never given any trouble. When working on the wheels at home i give the studs a quick spray with lano tech, (kiwi after shave), :), made from the oil in sheeps wool. I used to use copper coat once , it was fine but lano tech is cleaner on my hands :angel: It's hard to justify straying from OEM. In terms of safety, cost and serviceability. :)
