Me, too... after working tires for several years in my youth,
I have an abiding disrespect for locking lugs. You *will* lose
the lock, and find out only at the worst possible time that
it's gone.

Re: Wheel lock
well done. I'll have to re-evaluate JB Weld - I went off it big time after
discovering that a car I bought had a JB Welded in sparkplug. Of course I
only discovered this when the plug came out along with JB Weld powder,
leaving behind a smooth, smooth sparkplug hole :-( Guess JBW *is* stronger
than I thought.
