...you're probably not tightening them enough in the first place & they're just
doing what they're supposed to. I give mine a hell of a lot more than a couple
of light taps!

Hi
Try it with the car raised from ground, much easier that way. Btw. I also only
tighten them by hand and one or two blows with a rubber mallet, no point in
tightening them any more than that.

On my BJ8 with new MWS 72 spoke WW and hubs I find that the wheels are over
tightening themselves particularly the front.
Have read the Rudge Whitworth self tightening info. but still not happy.
When I fit the wheels I tighten by hand then do a light couple of taps with
my lead mallet.
After but a few miles I find that I have to really slog the spinners just to
get them to move - the ol? girl shakes all over.
It really is excessive and fear one day wont be able to get them to move at
all ? particularly on roadside.
What gives ?
Anyone else encountered this issue ?
