QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Aug 16 2007, 08:44 AM)  I like my click-type wrenches. I had a cheapie Chinese one for quite a while; I checked it against my beam-type wrench every six months or so, and it was never off. When the ratchet in the cheapie finally gave out, I invested in Snap-On. That one has been good so far, too. (Hmm, I need to dig out the beam one and check the clickers again!) Gwen, give me a call and I can bring a wrench over. It will at least help in the short run, though it is probably best to get one of your own. If all you're doing is torqueing the lug nuts, a cheapie clicker from the FLAPS will probably be fine. (Just make sure to set it back to 0 after you use it.) --DD Thanks! |

so interestingly...or not...
I go and buy some spare lug nuts from High Performance House last week and discover that I didn't throw the lug nut I thought I threw (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It was a locking nut that lost it's cap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) or maybe the locking nut broke and left the locking part behind? How weird is that? So I guess the car has been safe to drive afterall (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

OK, so I had no choice but to drive the 914 today thanks to a rear air suspension breakage on my 540iT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (Can you say low rider...) What's with thes German cars?!
So I took a picture of the locking nut. Is this broken? or Just missing a cap? Attached image(s)
