Brought a sapphy just transfering some bits over.

Iv come to get rid of the old wheels off the back and some numpty previous owner has done the wheel nuts up so tight it took a 2ft breaker bar and a high impact socket to get the wheel nuts off. (this is after i snapped a 19mm snap on socket)

The problem i have is that i have sucessfully removed 6 out of 8 nuts however the other 2 nuts are Fors locking nuts (simlar to trilock), these would not come off and now the holes are knackard.

I cant hammer a socket over the top as the way the locking nut is designed it fits flush with the wheel centre.

Does anyone PLEASE have any ideas how to get the wheels off.

It is now holding the whole project up


Many Thanks in advance


Im not worried about the wheels by the way, if it knackers them it dont matter

 

normally a socket does the trick.

not able to hammer it around with a chisel or something.

No, the way they designed socket wont go over the top, might try hammer and chiesel, try and snap the nut

 

Has no one else ever had this problem

 

Oh no - i hate this problem! had it a few times and its usually down to the local tyre supplier numpty's with high power impact guns!

I've drilled a tri lock out before and they are not easy, went thru 3 drill bits but it can be done...

Good luck

 

drill it

 

i had to drill 2 of mine once,knackers the stud up but its the only way really

 

been there done that, get a 10mm drill bit (a good one ) and drill each of the three holes until it goes through the nut and into the wheel a bit, unavoidable unfortunately, do this until all are drilled right through and then you will be able to twist the wheel off with a bit of huffin and puffin the remainder of the nut will shear off, pain in the arse mate

 

Thanks guys i will give it ago

 

or try welding a big nut on and use that to undo em.
