Just picked up my new wheel bolts, this is the memo that came with the locking bolts:



However looking at elearn it seems to say 98nm as far as I can see.

The size of the bolts is m12x1.25 x 23 with a 17mm head if that's any use to anyone

You got a kid with you new wheel bolts?? :O

You'd think having keys in the kid would be a safe enough place for them already, no?

AA recovery drive once said to me its common people try to nick your wheels, loosen off bolts then notice that there is a locker, so they walk off leaving you with 3 loose bolts and 1 tight one, so wheel dont fall off untill much later

Haha,

Yeah but I'm not sure how I get to the keys, do I just crack him open with a ball splitter... Err, ball joint splitter, or just pop his face onto the hub

True that, but hate to think what "safe place" they placed them within the kid...

At least the AA don't nick your wheels, unlike some other breakdown organisations.
