after you have had a BUNCH rollies, you can smell them from a mile away.

^ freaky - that is my reservation as well
agree on the others

By "wright," moot does not mean "Steven Wright" he just means "right" and not "wright" ... unless I'm sorely mistaken.

ps. A broken clock is right at least once per day, perhaps twice. Except a Rolex, which is just plain continuously wrong ... all the time.

You've progressed from gratuitous to disingenuous.

Hey wrong forum you guys, how did it go from centerlocks to rolex watches???

Thats what I love about this forum, no matter what, its always informative

You guys crack me up, are you all A.D.D.???

Great info in any case

Perhaps the gratuitous shot of the petroleum jelly got you all hot-n-bothered, but how about pointing your hard-on somewhere else.

P.J.S.

sorry to contribute to taking this thread off topic but back on topic

I appreciate the original post as I have not experienced the "joy" of centerlocks

is the perceived cl pain in the butt as bad as it reads on RL?
they sound like a hassle

mooty

^ it's a hassle.

back to CL, thanks Clifton for the nice description and pictures!

Thank you for proving the point.

I think you're looking for OCD.

In any case, it doesn't take long to see that this forum at RL, like most here, is for Porsche owners to twitter on about anything and everything. Watches. Tow vehicles. You name it.

Brought my car in to Champion this week and they advised the same and put one of those bolts to make sure it locks in my glove box as well. Now I just have to go find one of these centercap pryer thingies, even with my Lowes paintcan remover tools, I've bent all of them but they seem to stay in place and appearantly their only function is to keep the dirt out..

PS what's up with the watches?? Never had a watch, then again I never had a job either..

No...yes...maybe. Wait, what was the question?

I bought a set of these pry tools from MA Carbon...very handy for interior work too.

Clifton

What bolt/socket did you end up putting in yourglovebox? I'm sure there is one that is the exact fit, but I was just working with (pictured) what I had in my garage at the time. When I find the exact socket, I'll post the details unless you have it already.

I'm glad to hear Champion uses similar methods. I actually pulled the petroleum jelly out to treat the center lock bolt. I seem to recall that Porsche use to recommend applying a thin layer of PJ on clean wheels to "treat" them. I figured employing the same approach on the CL bolt and wheel hub (both aluminum??) wouldn't hurt. I simply rubbed it in and wiped away the excess and was careful to avoid getting any grease on the chamfered edge. Yes I'm ****.

As to the watches, I think OCD takes shape in many forms as evidence by those here that like them. But I think mooty waxed sage advice when he said to stay away from them.
