Wheel Nuts

[me myself and I]

I had this problem with my Galaxy and now my Alhambra.

Try removing the wheel nuts and you may get a shock.

I have been up to my local tyre place aith both cars and they have had serious diffuclty removing the wheel nuts,Even with their biggest air powered gun.

They reckon that the wheel nuts get tighter as you drive.

I am tending to believe them as I had to get them to loosen all the nuts on the Gal last year and I tightened them up by hand myself.About 2 weeks later I had to go back and they had serious trouble removing the wheel after I had tightened it.

torque setting for wheel nuts is a must. it sounds like someone has over tightend your wheel nuts at some in its life. causeing the wheel bolts too stretch which will cause self tightening. change will bolts as a start torque setting from 95-01 140nm for alloys and 2001 onwards 170nm
