And made of plasticine....... I had to give up with brand new ones they are that poorly made, not that they do a sight once the wheel is on anyway..

If they are tight give them a good clout with a big blind punch and lump hammer before swinging on them - saves rounding them out.

................ and when you do get them out, make sure that the threads are coated with coppaslip (other rust preventers and lubes are available) on refitting. They do not need to be "overtight" when refitting either.

Exactly. If they were intended to hold the disc in place there would be several equally spaced. They're more of a paperclip than a staple. They just prevent the disc coming off when the road wheel's removed.
