After watching you idiots with your videos, as I cringe all the way through 'em, I am so, SO very glad I looked in the glove compartment where the socket was. As a side note, you tire "experts" with your 1/2" impact wrenches, LAY OFF my wheels. I'll determine the tightness of my lugs. Not you.

@wheelrepairs Ай бұрын
I use 17 or 18 mm on these
@Oohmyliver68 3 ай бұрын
It's not a 17mm you need, the wheel nuts are 17mm, it's a 15 or 14 you need
@wheelrepairs Ай бұрын
Actually there are a couple of dif sizes ive found on this type..but the most common is 17 or 18 mm..thats without removing the spinning collar.
@ambydaly5713 4 ай бұрын
If you get an Alan key across the flats the same size as the hole and hammer it into the hole, you can undo the nut. This method has worked in our tool room in the past.

I’ve got four bolts to get off a Peugeot because the key’s been lost. Plan to weld a 25mm od tube to the bolt so I can weld on the inside of the tube and not damage the alloys. Not seen anyone else try this way yet, I could be the first!

I never had that happen tbh, but i can imagine that coukd happen if it was totally over torqued. If that happened it would be pretty easy to get off if you have a small welder. In fact i will grind one down flat and show a video of how to weld one

@mrlister2000 6 ай бұрын
Get a cold bladed chisel and a lump hammer, then hit the collar on the edge and it should break or snap. Then bang a 19mm socket, or one that is tight, and remove it that way.

@@wheelrepairs I do quite a few ,,,, usually put on three or four years ago by the tire fitters with a rattly gun , I have a technique that involves burning through the outter layers and bonding the two layers together but not welding the nut to the stud at the same time , then welding a big stand off onto the lotas you work out ,,, the heat must be kept up too of course ,,, with the rim being kept cool ,,, the later nuts have a really good heat treat too and wont die grind either ,,, but like yourself , Ive not had one I cant get off yet , I charge 125 quid a time and its no cure no pay .

I have several sets of reverse thread removers..they are all thin walled. The prob with halfords type is that they only fit car wheels that have lots of room where the bolt / nut sits because the walls are so thick. Plus its a two socket pack..so only two sizes! But its a real go to if you have lots if room in your rim and its the correct diameter for your locking wheel nut.Positive point with these halfords is that they will not crack! Bad news is the halfords reverse thread will not fit these type of locking wheel nuts at all. You have to physically remove the spinning collar to fit a very small reverse thread. Halfords are way to big for these.
@adrianedwards6911 Жыл бұрын
Is a reverse locking nut remover useless for this job ?
@wheelrepairs Жыл бұрын
The reverse thread socket will not work with these type of locking wheel nuts as the spinning collar makes the threaded socket useless. You would have to remove the collar first and then purchase a very small diameter reverse thread to fit over the center stud, or fit a standard 6 sided small socket.
