    Do you grease your nuts?

    I had exactly this issue on my Ford Mondeo hatchback.....stupidest idea ever! Took me an hour with a flat tyre and a hammer and screwdriver was the only way i could get them off!! Needless to say it was straight off to Tyrepower for a new tyre and a full set of stock nuts!!
