McGard locking wheel bolts



  Abarth 500 Esseesse
I know this isn't the first thread regarding these and it certainly won't be the last.

Last week I wanted to raise my front suspension a little bit after winding it down a tad too far. Came to loosen the first locking wheel bolt, and the key rounded. :mad:

Got onto the McGard site to order a new one, obviously went with the option to order 2 at 30 yoyos ('for securtiy's sake' as it says on the form). Received them this morning and BOTH of them did the same thing :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

These things are utter dogmess.

And they weren't buzzed on. I tightened them by hand. And I'm no big strapping monster.

have it removed, or buy tool to do it , and get a new set of lockign nuts, doing it by hads alright but still should be torqued up correctly

Did you use a long bar or the clio wrench when doing it
