Torque settings for wheel bolts ?

[sidepod]

So given that we’ve all got a ton of spare time to do stuff, how about a competition?

Film yourself doing a wheel change.
Only standard vehicle kit is allowed and it must be stowed in the correct position.
Start and finish sitting in the drivers seat.

Points awarded for speed/technique and comedy value.

Any takers?

How about staying in the drivers seat and filming the AA performing?
Other splendid breakdown services are available.........

If you didn't copperslip the hub plates last time, I'd suggest making sure your camera phone battery is fully charged before you start.

The second I posted I knew there would be someone would go that route.
I’m sure we’ve had the “it’s too dangerous to change a wheel at the roadside/grow a pair “ debate many times.

Anyone checked their tyre pressures (including spare) lately? Thought not !

I use minus 15% recommended pressures as it gives a more comfortable ride and leave the dust caps loose so they will undo easily.

I aint doin no competition.

After changing mine over a few days ago i forgot how heavy
the 18s were.
From the moment the first nut was cracked until the last wheel
went on - the only thing in my head was - is this really worth saving 30€

But it was because i would've had to make an appointment and then wait whilst
its done, also i could check that my brake discs weren't as bad as triplebees.

I just like to keep my California as original as possible. Even if this means to have the original brake discs.

Those are just minor changes.

Who else can say they have the original brakes after 10 years?
