i have a set of Julian Racing 18" wheels but lost the locking wheel nut, is this going to be a BIG problem or is ther ways?

 

im guessing u mean u lost the wheel nut key? ive found that bashing a socket onto them often works to screw them off. has worked on 2 different types of locking nuts

 

me to i have done the socket thing to and on some you have to chissel the coller off first then hammer socket on good luck

 

this nut is perfectly circular around the outside will that still work?

 

yeh ive done it on a round set before (although they did have a thread around the outside which helped).

if not then as said above u may have to chissel/batter to shit your nut to make abit more grip for the socket. just make sure you put loads of padding round your nut so u dont scratch your wheel!

 

might jus take it down ma mates at the tyre place , get them to sort it lol

 

lol or do that

 

Or get them to weld onto the locking wheel nut and then unbolt

Had to get that done on my Ford Locking nuts as they have a spinning collar.

 

the guy i bought it off just text me and said its in the back of the seats lol and it was!!!! didnt even know there was lil pouches there haha sorted!!!!

 

doh! lol

 

cheers for your help though guys

 

best bet and easiest is probally to buy a locking wheelnut remover key, has a reverse thread on the inside, never failed for me, even on locking wheel nuts with collars

 

thanks for ur help guys, i shall be on here regulary now i got a ford again due to the reliability of em bar the COSWORTHS and PROBES as they r jap based cars

 

cosworth jap based ???????????
