Holy cow ... This is awful, just awful.
I just put new tires on my i2 SE, and after torquing on the wheel to 25ft-lbs (at least according to my torque wrench) - just testing it out in the garage, the right wheel just snapped right off! All 3 lug bolts just completely snapped. Simply unbelievable.
Could you imagine if this had happened out at speed? I'd be in a world of trouble.
So a couple of things ...
#1 - any suggestions on how to replace the lugs? It seems they're press-fit into the triangle plate. Anyone been able to replace them successfully, whether by heating the plate or ...?
#2 - Now I can't trust the left side either!
I checked the manual and torqued to 25ft-lb of torque - see the wrench.

How could I have possibly snapped these bolts? And more importantly, how do I fix them? Anyone have a suggestion on someone who's experienced in such things? I really don't want to drop $1000 on two new transmissions - I may as well scrap this thing instead. Seriously, what a disappointment.
