Re: Missing a screw.
Err that would worry me matey.
I'd double check it isn't snapped inside the wheel.They shouldn't be falling out thats 100% sure,if i was you i would check every bolt on every wheel and make sure they're tightened properly.I don't know the correct torque setting for them but someone else may do.

Re: Missing a screw.
The Torq bit I have is VM8, very unusual size but is exactly right for the wheels
