To The Left Or To The Right
i have just bought brand new wheels for my car and i have a flat.
i didn't want to let the wife change the wheels any more cause she scratches the alloys,
weve had a argument and she wont tell me if the wheel nuts go to the left to undo or the right.
Could someone help.

a car.
You turn them to the right. They have a safety lock to prevent theft so you'll need A LOT of torque to actually break them free. Keep turning to the right until you feel it pop loose and give. The lug cap should have come free and you can now pull the the wheel off when all five are done.
Let me know if this doesn't work out for you....
I know most screws and bolts turn left to remove but this car is European AND metric so you have to go to the right for loosening. That little tip is free of charge friend.

a car.
You'll have to rivet the wheels back on now that you've got them off. If you don't have a rivet gun that's not a problem, just head over to AutoZone or Advanced Auto Parts and ask them if you can rent the lug rivet gun to put you wheels back on. Shouldn't be more than $19.99 to rent or the afternoon.

Shoulda used the quote from Fast Times at Ridgemont High after Spicoli completely destroys his buddy's Trans Am. . . "I can fix it. My dad's a T.V. repairman. He's got an ultimate set of tools" (or something like that).
