Handle Nuts

jrj5121, I think we understand what you did. I think the concern is that you can continue to tighten that until the box/tube collapses.

I've been doing some reading and I think it's possible to distort the trunk opening if you over-tighten using that method.

I use lock washers so I do not need to apply 10,000 pounds of force to the nut.

Unless you were to apply the exact same amount of force everytime, wouldn't it start to flex in?

I have not noticed any flex, but I have not been keeping a chart of the width, either. I will keep an eye on it. It is just something that I will have to be aware of and work around.

Why do you need a life raft on your car? Do you expect to be stranded on the side of the road?

Or do you need to carry your bike somewhere to ride it?

That's like taking a beer to a bar

Sometimes, I crack me up

Okay, who took Hal's meds from him?

I'd invite you along, but I don't think your bike would fit.
