one of my pet peeves.
Lost 4 good wheels to a bead breaker.⏒-145]
The hubs can also be bent by improper mounting/
dismounting. Loosten 4,leave one tight,bent hub,and
pulled threads on the tight stud and nut.
Conversely ,tighten only one to spec,bent hub.
Needless to say, the wheel savages don't touch my cars.
And I hand torque them in 3 stages,and a fourth pass to be sure.
The good news is the modern wheel machines
grab the wheel by the lower rim,not the hub.
And the bead breaker squeezes the tire only.
