Having bought a car and doing some maintenance on it thought I'd join forun find out a bit about the cars and post question. Fairly simple would have thought - but no response. I admit I don't know anything about Fiats - but thought this would be the place to start to learn anout them (and possibly contribute when I feel I am able). Oh well - I certainly won't get any answers now, so after my brief visit i'll leave you with it.

Can't answer but someone should do........

Perhaps OP would just prefer people to make it up if they don't know 
And the problem is.... ?
Sorry, but what were you expecting? A fully trained mechanic with a complete workshop manual waiting on line for people to ask obscure questions? I can guarantee that someone here will know but will they look at the thread? They may eventually but you have to wait for answers this is a free forum with a lot of knowledgeable people but it is not a Fiat sponsored site manned by mechanics.
Did you try downloading the manuals the info may be in those.

Instant responses and too high expectations from cooperS, sounds like they need a chill pill or to learn how to google and research
No one knew the answer, so no one posted it would seem
Yup.
90% of the threads I look at, I have no idea what the answer is, so I don't post. Else I'd just be posting my thousandth "Sorry, no idea, good luck!" stock template post.
Wow, just wow. I saw that thread and tbh I agree with Andy's answer, but do i know for sure? No! So i didn't answer. I really don't see why the hub nut needs to come off.

I've been here for about 2 months now, and everyone is really nice (if a little sarcastic at times ) so I'm not really sure what the problem is, apart from a lack of patience.
I've posted questions and got zero response but on others I've been overwhelmed with info so it just depends on what you are asking.

Is Patience that nice Nigerian lady who works at the hospital, if so she's still there
i know why hub nut comes off but not back plate, but i dont go into the 500 section very often as its a bit like going in to a pub on a rough council estate

Patience is a virtue; virtue is a grace.
Grace is that nice Nigerian lady who works at the hospital, and she's still there

I know nothing of the wonders of mechanics so I don't answer technical questions. If Grace is the lady who works at the hospital where the hell does Patience work then?
Lol...now then Maxi, this is the case where you CAN have a proper go at a newbie!

I didn't have a go at the newbie the last time and i still got accused of it

no that's not right, you can politely explain to them but no need to have a go and make them feel less welcome. they are attempting their own repair they will learn from that and be able to pass info on to others.
It was a joke dave, don't panic!
Anyway, judging by the contribution of others on this thread, I think there is general agreement the tone of the original post was a little OTT wouldn't you agree?
Am sure if the OP comes back all will be forgotten pretty soon...would be a shame if they didn't as there is plenty of useful stuff to be found on here.
