TIGHTENING THE LUG NUTS WILL EFFECT A "PRESS FIT" OVER THE HUB, MAKING IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE FRONT WHEEL IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT TIRE, ETC.

THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN A DRIVER CANNOT CHANGE A TIRE, AND MUST RESORT TO TOWING TO A GARAGE FOR WHAT SHOULD BE AN EASILY PERFORMED TASK. *AK
