The OEM locks are just the kind of thing every internet video shows you how to easily defeat. Just pound on a size too small socket and take it right off. The Gorilla is the only one that spins on the outer sleeve. I'm not completely convinced they aren't the right fit. I never experienced a case where when torquing it down, it just kept turning. I need to see for myself what is going on before I can fully comprehend what all the hoopla is about why they supposedly aren't the right fit. I understand there is something about the bent washer, but I haven't seen that in my case yet. You're not supposed to use an impact wrench with these, or crank them on super hard. Either of those could cause bent washers.
