RE: [DMCForum] Re: Glitch #182



Since we are talking about DeLoreans, I will refer you to the DMC DeLorean
Workshop  manual #113095, page L:12:01

GENERAL INFORMATION

2. Never use oil or grease on the studs or nuts.  Improperly tightened
nuts
could eventually allow the wheel to come off, while the car is moving,
causing loss of control.

Here is another reference from the Owners Manual, Page 36, which says the
same thing as listed above.

I included the web address of the owners manual on the DMCNEWS website.

Do you have any evidence to back this up? Alloy wheels will weld 
themselves to hubs, nuts sieze on studs, and I've had the same 
experience as Rich, replacing an alloy only to not be able to remove it 
3 weeks later. All it cost _me_ was two new lug nuts. I habitually use 
copper grease now, in common with just about every garage in the country.

Lubrication on a thread will allow you to achieve the torque the wrench 
tells you, rather than losing some of it to friction. It will not cause 
them to come loose.

Personally, I use spray-on copper slip which is a solvent-based 
anti-sieze compound which leaves a thin layer of copper dust in a light 
grease.
