Hello everyone.
I have moser axles and 3" lug bolts with open ended lug nuts. I had issues with tightening a couple of the lug nuts all the way. It was like they were cross threaded or something about 1/4 to 1/2 way down. One of the bolts broke so I had to remove the axles in order to replace. Since I needed to do this I went ahead and replaced all bolts/nuts on the rear axles. So now I have 10 new bolts/nuts. The exact same thing has happened in that 3-4 easily tighten and a couple of them get about half way and becomes VERY hard to tighten. If I didn't have a impact wrench then there was no way I could tighten them without snapping another bolt off.
I am just scratching my head wondering why I am having issues...anyone have this happen and what was the remedy?
Thanks a lot!
