to over tightening of the nuts, wheel nut spanner slip, damage
the bolts and also may cause personal injuries. Also, nuts may
loosen and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a serious
accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt or nut, clean before
installing wheel nuts.

other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
