Just the threadsI like the good old fashion "Should you oil wheel nuts" Debate.....
Recently had an over ugga Dugga 'ed wheel on one of our trucks from tyre fitters
Our little 3/4 drive got 2 off and wouldn't shift the 8 remaining
Broke the 3/4 t bar with scaff pole trying
Wound up our torque wrench to max to see what they were sitting at and was clicking (bending) at 1000nm

Circa 20years ago my dad lost a complete wheel in the outside lane at keltruck area on the M5. Hairy few seconds but he managed to scratch his way to hardshoulder ...3 days after getting a new tyre from kwikfk. Ensuing discussions dragged on ...insurance eventually coughed but it was an expensive job...much denying from kwikfit. Eventually admitted no torque wrench had been used. Studs all sheared like a carrot.
We often pondered where the wheel ended up...it flew across 3 lanes hit the armco and took off into the dark and raining Brummy night

if he was coming from this direction he's either coming from Caparro Tubes, Tafarnaubach IE in Tredegar, or Rodelle Chimneys in Brecon, which'd be my best guess looking at the attached channel on the side of it
Taking the piss that overhang is ..... "elastic tape officer, only measured 10ft, when I looked at it ... and it's marked "

Excellent journalism as usual though..... lets shout about the correctly marked and probably correctly indicated rear projection..... but only whisper about the fact that it was actually stopped which was a lack of axles-weight and poor paperwork/route.if he was coming from this direction he's either coming from Caparro Tubes, Tafarnaubach IE in Tredegar, or Rodelle Chimneys in Brecon, which'd be my best guess looking at the attached channel on the side of it

quite possibly Stu ..... very lucky to end up on his wheels, if that was the case ...... would explain the slurry pile in front of him
don't think I'd be stood on that edge if that was the case - or otherwise
