Why are my nuts different sizes ?
Just had some new tyres put on at lunchtime and also balance all wheels. The engineer said I have a mix of 22mm and 24mm wheel nuts. Whats the correct size and is it an issue apart from changing a puncture ?
It's a known fact that all men's nuts are different sizes Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills

Might be that some of your 22mm nuts are rusting beneath the shell and needs a 24mm socket. Nothing worse than swolen nuts!!!

Have you tried dressing to the other side?Dr. Ian Malcolm:

Transgenic tomato anyone?

you know how frosty these receptionist can be - get her to warm her hands first
I'd like to be standing next to you when you walk up and say "my nuts are a different size, can you take a look at them please"
