Tim, I am new to Morgan ownership, hence my question. Whilst it may have been discussed at length in the past, it is not something I am familiar with. I have worked on many vehicles over the years, two and four wheels and this is the first time I have come across a safety critical securing nut which requires ‘ a whack with a hammer’! Frankly, I find the notion totally absurd in this day and age but that it seems, is that.



I use this tool Andy, I only nip them up, not tight at all (supplied by wheel widget) but much easier for removing the spinners. I never whack them.
