I'm doing suspension and brake work this winter. After mounting and dismounting the wheels several times I finally figured out something most of you have probably known forever.
I went to ACE and bought two bolts that match the thread of the lug bolts and cut the heads off. I've always been a late bloomer... Next I'll figure out how to post a photo in the correct orientation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)  |

You can also use zip ties around the handles and stand legs help keep them secure if you're really paranoid. Zip ties are cheap. Crushed Mellon? Not so much.

QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Feb 9 2016, 11:56 AM)  You can also use zip ties around the handles and stand legs help keep them secure if you're really paranoid. Zip ties are cheap. Crushed Mellon? Not so much. Good idea on the zip ties. I have actually tried to lift one of the handles when there is weight on the stand. It would take a hell-uva hit to move that handle off of the tooth. But if you do not have the teeth fully seated and the handle completely down the handle's tooth could possibly be bumped out of the stand's tooth. So again, to me it seems to be a proper operation issue. I will agree that they are not idiot proof like the ones with pins in 'em. I would say the zip tie would solve that. |
