Rich Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 How lucky was he the wheel didn't come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 There must have been underlying forces applied here?.... The bolts are so central there's no way they would just brake...... Pothole methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazz33 Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Cheers Rich for doing the pics of LOC. Yeah cant believe how lucky he was..good job he wasnt doing 70+ mph... like you say tony it must of been a pothole or something with alot of force.. perhaps hitting a kerb at high speed.?

Rich Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 No problem Dazz Whatever caused he was lucky, if that wheel had come off I'd imagine it would've resulted in a nasty crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hms Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Looking at the pic showing the bolt, there is only a small piece of the bolt that is not rusted. It appears that the bolt has been fractured for a while and corroded, the shiney bit was the only bit holding it together. A good advert for torqueing nuts and bolts correctly. h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
