An OVER zealous impact wrench ?      Don't you mean a under zealous impact wrench.   The drum was torn up ?   Glad your wife kept her cool and didn't ground loop the Bug in traffic. That could have been nasty.

No the guy over did it. He stripped all the lugs out they didnt rip out they fell out! New drums are on and it has all new lugs to go with it. Rick was trying not to laugh when I actually used a torque wrench to tighten them all up.

I bought $50 worth of big ole shiney lugs from Chuck,One of them was not machined properly it has no pitch to the thread. 30 minutes of making my point and 1 tough luck later...nuthin. I'm about done with them(again). $300 bucks on the ticket and I cant get 1 lugnut. Not to mention we have drums but no brake pads we have this but no that.Peanut butter no Jelly. Ive tried to support the local guy but dangit!!!Not to mention the lugs where too long and that led to a nice rebuild of all of my brakes up front.
dangit dangit dangit!!!! :evil:
