 Rich is right only I would suggest that you leave the wheel nut on two or
three threads.  It's been my experience that when the wheel does come off, it
comes off at a pretty high rate of speed.  Unless you are wearing a football
helmet, with appropriate face guard, you could be in for some expensive
dental repair.
