check those lug nuts

[Bruce Yeaton]

Guys - just a reminder to check your lug nuts.



I rotated my tires early in the year and had them tightened up snug at the time. I'm off for the weekend for a couple tournys up north, so I'm double checking everything before I leave. Lugs were loose by about a 1/2 - 3/4 turn each :blink:



Lubed up the grease fittings while I was there and the took 8 - 10 pumps each as well.

Great idea. I always take a peak to make sure they're still there [a fishing buddy had them removed by a vandal], but it's probab;ly best to make sure they are tight.

It's especially important if you have aluminum wheels. Aluminum responds to temperature changes more radically than steel. The constant expansion and contraction of the aluminum can work the lugs loose over time.
