Wheel nut 🔐

[bri]

Hiya funsters, is it safe to remove and replace l nut with locking nut on respective wheels,or do you have to jack the vehicle up each time?

 

[Podney]

Yes it’s safe to do so and you don’t need to jack up. I’m assuming you are just replacing one ordinary nut with a locking nut,on each wheel.

Do you have a torque wrench to re-set the new locking nut?

Have you noticed that if you go to a decent tyre fitter they will use the air tool to put on the nuts or more likely these days the bolts and then torque them to the correct setting. If you go anywhere that does not use a torque wrench then get them torqued before you go very far as a matter of safety. Do not rely entirely on the air tools.
