I'm just changing the wheels on my newly acquired series 3, and breaking the nuts off is being a right PITA. It's taking my weight bouncing on a 2-foot bar to crack these - and the studs are lubricated.
That means five or six hundred foot pounds of torque has been used to put them on (previous owner was "an expert") which is probably at or near the yield point of the studs - so I am going to have to replace them now.
What is it that induces people to do nuts up so ****ing tight?
Other than rank stupidity?
