.... and a new wheel is required.

Mahn, what kind of wheel?

I have one brand spanker steel Disco rim (white) but it does have a brand spanking new tyre fitted. I want to sell both.

Wheel nuts can also be loosened by others, damn near lost a wheel off the X1/9. The car felt a bit odd and when I pulled over (on the Cahill over Circular Quay, one rear left bolt had gone and every other was loose....)

A few weeks ago, some genius pinched the nuts from my boat trailer while it was parked (and locked to the Disco) at a local ramp. I rang my wife who followed instructions perfectly and located more in my very congested garage and eventually delivered such, with a grimace. Top day for fishing, nuts!!!

Needless to say I used my breaker bar today and will do so everytime from here on end.[/b][/quote]

Breaker bar fine to use but don't exceed 90flb. Small factory nut tightning bar designed so you can't exceed 90lb.

I have broken 3 studs over a period from using my breaker bar far too tight & when checked were around 120lb & over a period eventually snapped off after 4x4 trips.

I now check regularly with tension wrench insted of overtight with bar to be sure.

You're telling me...the wheel had the valve and stem replaced a month or two back and I trusted that tyre place had done the job properly. Needless to say I used my breaker bar today and will do so everytime from here on end.[/b][/quote]

Give the tyre place a ring, speak to the manager and give him a serve. Remind him that someone (you or someone in another vehicle) could easily have been killed had the wheel seperated. Remind him that would have meant a big lawsuit. Get in his face. You might get a refund on the job they did for you or some other minor form of compensation. At the very least you'll probably feel better for it.
