could this be dangerous?
Basically the car is totally stripped out, everything, trim, carpet, spare, seats etc.
Was just cracking the rear wheel nuts before I jacked it up to remove them and I spun the wheel
I leave it with the handbrake off because its been sat a while and I didnt want it siezing up, could the konis being on full hard made things worse? it was also a wet road.
And will the rear end being so light be dangerous in a powerful Fwd road car?

Guess I'll just have to find out the hard way

and yes
was my first reaction, I had to double check I'd only put the jack in place and not actually jacked it up!
just put your handbrake on when undoing them

I undo all of them by lifting Tony, I know your supposed to push using your weight aswell, also saves your back. But I slipped once while pushing and leaning full weight and did some serious damage to my hand, hence why I dont do it that way anymore, apart from that I find it easier pushing my legs agains the floor instead of just bouncing on the bar with weight.

and what i was getting at is that he was undoing his wheel nuts with out putting his hand brake on and obviously using alot of force on the wheel nuts. I dare say if i go outside now and do it on my car with rear seats etc in i can spin my rear wheels. I'm not going to try though because it's cold out there and i'm lazy

What Tony is getting at is twisting the nuts off on the back by putting certain forces against the rear suspension when tightening the nuts you are actually lifting the back wheel up against the trailing arm.

Nope, dont really work on the car much, I'll probably never finish it, spend more time asking questions and trying to find out how to do stuff than actually doing it
Was considering taking it to Danny for a cage when its finally ready, and possibly getting him to weld me in some proper seat mounts and belt anchors then.
