[QUOTE="Whisp, post: 419126, member: 9598"] First job on any vehicle new to you is to take all the wheels off and grease all the stud threads with a good high pressure waterproof grease or anti seize compound. This will help to stop galling of the threads and also allow full torque to be achieved. Nearly all tyre places these days that use a rattle gun have them fitted with a torque tube that limits the amount of torque that can be applied to your wheel nuts, they are colour coded for differing torque values. I am interested to know how aluminium swells, did the Tyrepower man explain that to you? The only thing I can think of is that there is dissimilar metal corrosion happening between the two layers of metal. [/QUOTE]
