Roger, check the size of your wheel bolts - 19mm sounds too big, mine are 17mm.

Quite right - the 19mm was the big impact socket from my late lamented M3's wheelnuts, which I'd hoped would fit the tractor
Thinking about the grease... fine if you do it all yourself, but once it's on it's on, and what about when you take the car to a garage for new tyres... doesn't that risk them overtightening them...?
