Also disencouraging someone to try something is plain moronic... how else will they learn?

Is it?
Should we encourage you to cut all your brake pipes then drive full tilt towards a tree?
Would that be moronic?
Would you learn?
...or would you be dead?

If youd listen to someone telling you to cut your break pipes you need shooting...

Anyway. point proven should have atleast used one brain cell before asking such a stupid question

You could also use one of these if it helps, could make one but getting a wheel on studs is easier than juggling a wheel on your foot, aligning the holes with both hands and then holding it there with one while trying to screw in the bolt.

I've people struggle with the silliest of things, like filling an engine with oil via the dipstick tube!!!  :shocked:

The guy making this must have a demand and if theres a demand there must be people struggling with bolts :smug:
