But seriously, changing out the heavy truck Budd rims split rings is no joke, those things can get you killed before you know what happened. I want to see the rodeo video of someone changing out one in under a minute!
You have to know which ones to refuse. If the ring was "sprung" or bent or damaged when we took them off, they didn't get remounted. I changed them for a lot of years and never had one let loose. If you take your hands, put them fingers to fingers in front of you, reverse one and make hooks with your fingers and pull them locked together, that's how lock rings work. But that curve must lock into the recess on the wheel all the way around and GOOD. If not, get it the hell away from me.
