JAGUAR SNAPPED WHEEL NUT REMOVAL MARK SAVAGE

VERY HARD JOB TO DO !! GRRRRR

[@bernardlandymore7372]

Heads up guys just done the wheel nut on my x type (same nut) after a garage had hammered mine on so tight with a rattle gun I sheared it off trying to undo it. What I did was get a good quality hole cutter (I used a starret ) 22mm or 7/8 and removed the piolet drill. Now the ID of the cutter was the same size as the stump left on the nut this centred the cutter. I just cut the top off the nut!!!! The washer came off with it and the threaded part just unscrewed. No damage to the stud or wheel and only took 10 mins.

[@PedrSion]

Used your method this morning on my XF, one on each rear wheel. Worked a dream. Thanks for posting.

[@bernardlandymore7372]

@@PedrSion Thanks glad it worked OK.

[@tonymango3668]

Used the same starrett 20mm hole cutter myself last weekend. Set drill to a low speed and it quickly, efficiently and most importantly cut the head off the washer that the sheared nut left behind. 2 drilled out in around half an hour no fuss or drama. Kit £55 from screwfix or £20 for drill and arbour. No need to struggle!!!

[@tonymango3668]

Used the 20mm hole cutter worked like a dream. Also I think this might not be an over tightening issue by the garage... I think corrosion sets in between the nut, washer and wheel. This expands the metal and is such increases the pressure on the nut assembly, thus greatly increasing the torque required to remove/break the nut off...

[@Hughjardon520]

This has just happened on my XF just ordered a starret cutter

[@lew893]

Just done this on a customers car 3 1/2 hours two nuts! Why can’t garages use a bloody torque wrench! We do!

[@iaintempl8]

A big thankyou for posting this video. I had a wheel nut snap off on me yesterday, found this video and managed to remove the remains of the nut without damaging the wheel or stud.

[@marksavage]

Thats good to hear and why I do these videos Top man and thanks Mark

[@1990themule]

Had this happen at work a few times on Jags where they’ve previously been put on bollock tight with an air gun. The chrome outer is just a sleeve and what I’ve done before with success is drilled a hole through the sleeve as the nuts are hollow all the way to the stud and a mixture of penetrating oil and a butane torch with a fine jet on it 👍🏼

[@marksavage]

Bloody hard work lol , Had people say I did it wrong and doesn't happen!! But it does and is a real pain lol But got them off in the end , take care bud

[@Orphanfanny]

Same problem this morning. Yep Jag. Really feel for you. Got 2 to do. 👍

[@MrPatch25]

you still got it Mark

[@marksavage]

No bud sold it , but enjoyed it while I had it, all in an amazing motor

[@lrnick1462]

Mate, thanks for this video. Also found on another video, you can use a 20mm hole saw and drill it until it hits the washer. Then the wheel pulls off and you use some mole grips to take the remains of the stud. Brilliant video nonetheless

[@purchaseaccount2041]

Think the information here is a bit confusing, is it the rattle gun or Jag that muffed up? Real reason is that the steel nuts and alloy wheel create a reaction and the sleeve part of the nut fuses with the wheel. Secondly the design of the nut doesn’t allow huge forces for removal. Had some tyres fitted, nuts torqued, month later two snapped on removal. Nothing to do with rattle gun!

[@bricole1745]

Having the same issue what type of drill is that your using or what voltage of drill can I use if I don’t have an impact drill?

[@marksavage]

to be fair bud i used 6mm to 8m but they kept snapping and a normal power drill , its not a fun job

[@alangriffiths7949]

Hi mate, I know this is an old vlog,but followed your advice and it worked a treat.Just messaging you to say Thank you.

[@marksavage]

Thats good to hear , take care bud

[@jacobt4373]

Hi mark I have a speedfight question, I am having troubles with my vacuum to the fuel filter as no fuel is going into the carb. I have made sure the fuel filter works by sucking on one the tubes and it seems to be working as it should.

[@marksavage]

JJ1999 so you have tested like in my videos and it works ok ? I do have 70 speedfight videos that all should help However if that works check float in carb and give it all a good clean See if that works

[@jacobt4373]

mark savage when I try to start the bike it just sucks air through the air filter and doesn’t create a vacuum for the fuel filter

[@marksavage]

the vacuum is from the engine turning over, make sure its all back together right bud, did it run ok before , engine seal / oil seals ok?

[@markblake77889900]

In the middle of this at the moment. I've found the easiest way. After 2 sets of bits, I used a protruding sanding belt that's supposed to be for bodywork. Just ground the stud and nut washers off. 2 hours per nut and you don't have to press on it.

[@jasonseed842]

That's why no-one will touch my Jag !

[@tomtilley3162]

feel yer pain boss knightmare is the polite version anyway on a brighter note yep another great video love yuor work boss thanks for sharing and a bonus its been nice and sunny here in skegness aswell lol have a great week bud

[@marksavage]

Tom Tilley yes bud we have had the sun for a few days now and till Wednesday It really was a bugger Thanks for watching bud

[@MePeterNicholls]

This has happened on my Range Rover. Why oh why do garages do these up as tight as universally possible 😩

[@marksavage]

Have no idea they are not supposed too !

[@jamieridealgh5724]

Just come across this video searching for this exact solution! Brilliant and honest…I’m not looking forward to doing this 😬

[@marksavage]

It's a real bugger bud , but hopefully this video helps It's something that you have to tackle But try an impact driver first with loads of wd40 Take care bud

[@jamieridealgh5724]

@@marksavage Thanks again - Even the guys about to change my tyres were hesitant and know that they are likely to break the wheel nuts...It's a bit frosty at the moment but I'll keep applying the WD40 and see what happens :)

Mine’s up on the Jack this minute with the snapped wheel nut leaving just the cast washer to look at! All these problems to all to owners jus because they f@#£+%g wanted to press on a thin stainless steel thin casing.

[@fit21guy]

Do you still mess with speedfight's? I've looked but can't find anything. Is there anywhere that does a new boa lock?

[@marksavage]

have you check out my other channel?, they are all on a play list and some of my early ones shows the snake lock, but to be honest if the key was lost I just left them and as they where big old things and hard to get round the rear wheel or post lol Peugeot speedfight mark savage

When fitting the new nuts try rocol 251 grease. At work we use that on RR jet engines. Bolts still come right off after 1000s of flights 👍

[@marksavage]

should have told the previous owner lol but I will be using new hardened ones so not to snap ,thanks for watching

[@jimbob7768]

You've probably thought of this but how about one of them left handed bolt extractor drill bit thingys?may not be beefy enough for a wheel stud though,nice motor btw bud👍

[@marksavage]

In take off the nut and did not want to damage or replace the bolt I found this way I didn’t damage it and could then put back on another nut It’s a lot harder but saves on replacing But yes bud I had thought about it Thanks for watching

Respect Mate - just want to know what Nuts you finally replace them with and where to get them

I went on e bay and found the hard metal replacement as I found out I'm not the only one who found out about this thanks for watching bud

[@SumUnicus]

With longer studs in the hub, the whole nut would be in use and not only the inner part. That should solve the problem. I will try that out on my X-type... has snapped totaly 9 of 20 :(

They just didn't look into them properly No other car has them just jags that I've work on

What a mare! Hate it when garages do that! you would think they know better. Had it on my sisters golf but luckily it was just a long bar job for me. well done getting them all off on your own. Just thought, how about one of those impact drivers that you whack? although I hate using them it feel like your getting nowhere and end up whacking the hell out the cars bearings etc.

[@marksavage]

Rob k I did try my impact air gun with 150 psi and it didn’t move it at all !!!! It’s just a bugger and very hard work Really think of popping back to the garage to slap them lol Thanks for watching

[@carlton683]

I wish you could have shown how you drilled out the wheel

[@marksavage]

I did record it but you couldn't see much, have a good look at the nuts I took off and you can see but really it came down to drilling small holes around the flat side of the nut and drilling them bigger until I could jam on a socket to get the m off it was hard long hard work but worth it and saved me £s thanks for watching

[@TheDervMan]

OMG the most stressful video I’ve ever seen. Sad times 😟. What’s the latest? Did you get the off?

I do mate I've always ended up welding a socket to the end of the nut and I've got it all the time I've got a garage in Catford so locking nuts not coming off and bolts rusting in is a common thing for me but good luck with it Mark you'll get their son I have all the faith in the world in you

[@robertasviskupaitis9195]

why did you not go the same garage for them to remove it? they fked they can fix it.

it had been owned by a few since then and now it was mine i didnt was to get a flat tyre and not be able to change it

worth doing bud

[@HOMIK1983]

Easy to removed. Had job last week. 10 snapped nuts removed in 15 minuts. No drilig or alloy damage. Its not a garage fault. Bad designe and corrosion between alloy and wheel nut.

@@marksavage hope you didnt have to do the other 3 wheels...............I got my son's Corsa to do, cant budge his, same story as yours probably.............I do think its more the lack of grease rather than the rattle gun although with a lot of the newer cars and the rattle gun does nothing positive to the decorative chrome.
