One more time... Tighten spinners
 
As if this hasn't been covered a hundred times before, is the correct way to tighten spinners clockwise on the drivers side and counter clockwise on the passenger side or vice-versa.:confused: I must be some kind of idiot, I'll think I'll write it down this time or make a sticker for the dash or something.

Thanks,
John

Tighten knock offs
 
Just remember to turn toward the rear of the car. Or, remember that If you hold one of the tines on the spinner and the car rolls forward it should tighten.

Tight ass. Tighten towards the back (ass) on both sides.

If all else fails, look at the threads too. There should be enough sticking out of the spinner to see. Pretty easy to figure out from there.

Thanks for the help
 
I called Excelguru at home to check with him and he told me the "tight ass" rule. That should be easy to remember. Bob, I'm ordered a wire tool and some wire form JC Whitney on September 14, still waiting for delivery.

Right side of car=left hand threads (backwards)
left side of car = right hand threads (normal)

when tightening, hammer them till they go "ping"

Use .040 safety wire.
