Range Rovers/Discos/Defenders don't have stainless nuts.
What they have is steel nuts with a stainless cover.
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

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.Originally Posted by bed_bug
keep them lubed and it isnt an issue but .....

SubscriberI 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
It's hard to justify straying from OEM. In terms of safety, cost and serviceability.
