Stick turned wheels secured by nuts (10)

'stick' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'turned wheels secured by nuts' is the wordplay.
'turned' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'wheels' becomes 'car' (car wheel is a kind of wheel).
'secured by' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are held or secured).
'nuts' becomes 'barking' (both can informally mean mad).
'car' back-to-front is 'rac'.
'rac' going into 'barking' is 'BARRACKING'.
