Thread: Replacement Wheel Nuts

Hi guys,

I know that somewhere in the forum some post were made on replacing the standard LR wheel nuts ( stupid chrome covers) with aftermarket solid ones.
Because of the lack of search filters I am unable to find them.

Can anyone please assist?

Thanks Rich

It is the eeejits who use rattle guns on the nuts that destroy them.
The rattle guns seem to hammer the Stainless outer covers on the nuts, so that they then slip and you have to chisel the outer cover off to then be able to remove the inner steel stud.
Had to use a length of pipe on a 1 metre power bar to crack off a stud, the other day (after having chiseled off the outer casing), after a service where they appear to have used about 300ft/lbs to put the wheel studs on.
If I had been trying to change a flat out bush, I would not have had a chance to get that stud free.

Bought 5 studs from UK last week for $15. Freight was $47. They were here in 4 days.
I figure freight for 10 nuts might have been about same amount, as they came in a small box which had plenty of space for more nuts.
