I’m getting an inspection yesterday. Tech comes and says he can’t get the wheel off because the lug key and/or lugs are stripped. Oh, and one of the lugs wasn’t tightened at all, completely loose. So I fail inspection and have to pay the fail fee - this would have been a free inspection. I just had tires put on Friday so I know who did this. Now I have to leave work early, yell at the tire people, get a new key, and get a reinspection. I will NOT be paying for this fix. Is everyone in the world incompetent? I swear I would do every single job myself if I had the time and tools. That’s why I built my own deck, because I know whoever would have done it would have fucked it up. :mad: :mad: ---

> _Originally posted by HaNnIBaL64_ > **beat the tech with a baseball bat** Tech inspector was at a different place than where I got the tires. I’ll beat the tire guy instead. I guess a tire iron would be more appropriate. ---

> _Originally posted by Pewterss_ > **where u get the tires?** Marsh in Charleroi. Never had a problem before, bought 3 sets of tires & a set of wheels. Here’s what I think happened - real busy that day, tire guy goes nuts with the impact gun, rounds off the key, last lug doesn’t even tighten. God forbid someone uses a torque wrench. But I could be wrong. We’ll see this afternoon. ---

They were able to grind the key down past the rounded off part. Works good now, and still inserts into the lug the whole way. I asked the guy there, and no they don’t usually use torque wrenches. Next time I’ll have to ask to torque them to spec so the key doesn’t get rounded again. ---
