So, you have just had new tyres fitted to your work vehicle wheels by a tyre company.
Q.What is the first thing that you should now do?
A. Check that you can undo the wheel nuts/bolts so that you can change a wheel if you have a puncture.
My work vehicle had 4 new tyres fitted a few months ago. I have had a squeaky wheel so I though that I would attend to the brakes as I thought that they were binding. The wheel bolts had been tightened so much that I broke the locking wheel bolt key of the locking wheel bolts. I have used that key many times before and it has been fine. The tyre company had really overtightened the wheel bolts when fitting the new tyres. I managed to get the locking wheel bolt off after about an hour with much difficulty. You don't want to be out one cold dark winter night with a puncture only to find that you can't get your flat tyre changed.
A video for the very patient.
