- Fellow fans, I hate to buck the trend, but I've personally witnessed a wheel come off a Healey while in motion twice and it's not fun to look at or experience. What the engineers or patents or manufa

- Good points Bill. When I got my car, I had a room mate that was a BMC mechanic and he advised putting them on as tight as they will go and another 1/4 turn farther. I never had a problem with them wh

- Bill and all, You didn't mention if the knock off 'spun off' - allowing the wheel to come off, or if the knock off 'broke off' which allowed the wheel to come off. I seem to recall reading somewhere

- Theory is a beautiful thing, only problem is some times things don't work as well in the real world. I found a cheap rubber mallet at Harbor freight that does the trick without a lot of damage to the

- Instead of frequent hammering, I use a very small dot of touch up paint on the hub and the knock off, and inspect the dot alignment before heading out. After a period of trial and error (number of bl

- I have to admit I am a pounder, I put them on tight then maybe give them 20 more whacks with the hammer. Probably goes back to the days of my first cars with wires, and slightly worn splines. I am no
