And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Nope. When he goes to put the new tire on and he can't find those spinning lug nuts, he goes all Peter Billingsley, and says "FFUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE!"
You don't until the new tire is ready. Back in the late '90s, dug up the underground tanks at Junior Johnson's Wilkes County shop. Watched a team that was renting it doing pit stops.
1) Studs only extend 1-2 threads past the edge of the hole making fewer turns to tighten.
2) An inch or so of the stud is turned down so the threads slip over it. This lines the nut up and eliminates crossthreading. The unthreaded portion of the stud allows the wheel to be slammed onto it and when the stud hits the threads it breaks the glue loose.
3) The end of the stud is rounded allowing easy alignment when putting the wheel on.
Trivia: I was told 6-7 years ago by the company that trains pit crews that a jackman on a top team makes $350,000 per year.
socket should be deeper and spring loaded so it can hold all the lugs ready to be reinstalled faster

DeleteGot those Aero steel race rims on my beetle bug, super light weight, come in every offset and stud pattern there is, very reasonable price too.
ReplyDeleteNASCAR doesn't use that style of wheel anymore. Nw it is a single big nut in the center like IndyCar or F!.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, it ain't the NASCAR we all grew up with now.
I've used that clip for 10-15 years in my changeover.com workshops. It comes from 2020 hindsight who specialize in high speed cameras.
ReplyDeleteGreat company
