If long nosed pliers and a screwdriver pry-bar remove the locknuts so easily .. is it worth fitting them at all ??

I'm struggling to see how the pliers/screwdriver thing will undo something torqued up to 110 Nm .. or am I missing something ???

 :-/ :-/ :-/


psyconurse is talking about the security screws that hold the centre caps on if i'm reading right :y

Sorry , thought he was talking about security wheel nuts  !!! My bad
