I bought a locking nut removal set, and it was 2 sockets but that didnt work cos on the outside of the nutt is a bit that freely spins so as the removal tool bit it was just spinning, so i chisled of the bit of the nutt the outer bit of the locking nutt, but now both the removal tools are now to big, so I hammered a socket (17mm) over it and then tried to remove but nope the fooker just slips off etc, do most garages have ways of getting these off? or is there summit else i can try?

 

hammer a a 16 on it, shulda done in first place :P or slacken all other 3 nuts on the wheels and drive it round the block once or twice or till it loosens

 

make sure it's a 6 sided 16mm as a muti sided will just slip

 

Gra if you get really stuck give me a shout and i'll pop over and 'spadge' it off for you

 

cool cheers, i did try a 16, but it wasnt going on, and a 17 did (with a slap or two) ok gonna get jiggy on Wed and give it some welly,

cheers spage, may take you up on that (or lure you over under that premise and hit you wih the big jobs

 

If i'm doing feck all mate i'm more than happy to help out

 

tighten the other 3 bolts and the one you want off will be easier

else do what i did and weld a nut on the end

 

Get a bigger hammer

 

 

been there and done it gra i have spent the last three days trying to get a fucked wheel nut off to change the springs on the saph finaly managed to drill the stud out today. i am so fucking happy as i have not done too much damage to the the wheel, hoyay for cobolt drill bits

 

Keep banging sockets on till you find one that doesn't slip!!!

 

us the imperial size between 16 and 17mm
