3 wheel nuts safe to drive???

banter general discussions etc

Re: 3 wheel nuts safe to drive??? by adyclemo on Tue Dec 07, 2010 7:55 pm
If your desperate to use the vehicle, i would remove a stud and nut from 2 other wheels meaning 1 wheel will have all 6 in and the other 3 having 5. Not an ideal situation and still not safe but would get you out the s**t temporarily. Currently 1 of my front wheels only has 5 nuts on as the 6th stud is fubbered. Im hoping to sort this on thursday when i get to my parents to borrow their drive.

For the hassel its gonna be to get it kind of safe and the bus is an option i would just stick with bus for a few days. On the other hand if you own i bicycle theres another option.

Getting a little heated now, the guy has said he is not using the car until he has it fixed.

Thread locked for cooling off, hope you understand folks :wink:
