I'm going back at least a dozen years to when I last had to deal with this. At the time the requirement was that the earth wire could not be removed without the use of a tool. I found that the tag gave me enough torque with my thumb to loosen the nut sufficiently to enable the (nyloc) nut to be undone with my fingers. We cured the problem by placing the stud close to a side frame member so that it prevented rotating the tag.
