As I was removing the tire to replace brake pads and possibly rotors on my 2014 Fiesta I found yet another issue to deflate my wallet.
As others Ford owners have asserted, the caps of the lug nuts were prone to swell and change shape, making them hard to remove for regular maintenance in wheel, tire and brake replacement.
The OE lug nuts have a 19mm cap that can be snapped off to get to the 18mm nut underneath.
Looks like the next step is to make a trip to the auto parts store for new lug nuts before I begin the brake pad replacement.
Actually today will be a trip into the big queen city of the Ozarks to have my blood work done. Then some other business attended to plus, the buying of more lug nuts.
Tomorrow will be baking for Thursday's activities.
Thursday... turkey day will be a long awaited day with my family as well as my birthday/party & celebration.
So now it's looking like brakes pads will be put on the back burner.
No wonder as we age the hair starts to thin or maybe we have already pulled it out by then! 😂
May ya'll day be less eventful than mine. Have a good one! 👍
