Mike Clarke Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Need my locking wheel nuts off my car any moblie macanics on hear
Huffty_500 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 You can buy that tool from Halfords its really good. Its basically a load of reverse threaded sockets made just a bit bigger than standard sized heads so you wind them on and then undo the whole lot... If youre really screwed with them, Sheffield Engine services can drill them out

facom1 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Smaller socket an a big hammer did mine This is correct. small chisel to remove revolving band and a slightly smaller socket banged onto wheel nut. This method is used in all main dealers.
rockonvynil Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 We recently had a car in with bolts so hard a solid cobolt drill did not even mark them. ---------- Post added 27-02-2015 at 20:48 ---------- This is correct. small chisel to remove revolving band and a slightly smaller socket banged onto wheel nut.

rockonvynil Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 It was a panda 4x4 we bought a special tool that cost over one hundred and fifty pounds and even that failed,we think they were tightened by garth using a scaffold pole.A chisel would not even mark them but the burner won in the end at the cost of a new wheel.They were the pattern type hardened and sleeved the best /worst we have ever seen,no makers name on them.
