Right rear wheel spline got wiped out and I heard a very loud grinding sound when I applied the brakes. I was able to drive home. It was almost impossible to get the Knock Off Nut off. I was eventually successful using a 20 LB sledge hammer.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446910883557_5333"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446910883557_5333">2. Left front hub spline got wiped out when I applied the brakes coming up to a stop light. I heard the same grinding sound. I knew that the spine was gone after the rear wheel incident. I slowly drove into a parking lot. The Knock Off Nut was loose. I called a fellow club member for assistance. He brought me a floor jack and with the wheel off the ground we tightened the Knock Off Nut as tight as it would go. I then proceeded to slowly follow him home using the hand brake to stop. Unfortunately when coming up to the next traffic light a guy cut me off and I made the mistake of hitting the brake pedal. Again the grinding sound and then the wheel came off, continued down the road into the side of a pick up truck. Fortunately I was going slow enough that I didn't damage anything. The car just dropped down on the Brake Rotor. I retrieved the wheel and was able to get the car off the ground so as to put the wheel back on and proceeded to my friends garage where I left it until I could get it home and replace the Hub. I have since replaced all Hubs, Knock off and Wheels.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446910883557_5333"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446910883557_5333">Question why did the left front loosen and come off while the right rear tightened to a point that I was ready to torch the wheel off?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446910883557_5333"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446910883557_5333">Ron Mitchell</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446910883557_5333"><br id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446910883557_14083"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446910883557_5333"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446910883557_5333"> </div></div></body></html>
