How do you define "complete shit" as it applies here please? How much torque were you applying to these that they failed? If you're seeing problems that others aren't, with two different types of locking lugbolt assemblies from a quality source, chances are someone's doing something wrong and it's not the people designing the item. > I > wound up having to drill two of them out over time, and the third was > so difficult, I had to take it to the dealer for removal (and in case > you're wondering I always use a torque wrench on my wheels, tightening > them to no more than 85lbs.) Is that the spec? Did you use any sort of anti-seize on them? Did it fail on installation or removal? Something doesn't add up here, is all I'm saying.
