N-Seven Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Hi all, I'm having a bit of an issue with removing a set of alloys as I don't have the locking wheel nut. A 19mm socket sort of fits over it but it's not turning at all. Anyone ever had this before? Is there anything I can use to get them off?

thermoacc Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I bought a set of these years ago (the 4-socket set) and have come in handy on more than one occasion! http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/locking-wheel-nut-remover-2pc?da=1&TC=SRC-locking+wheel+nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princy Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Does the 19mm socket bite or just rotate? I had to get some off an Astra that had a rotating collar on them to stop you driving a socket over them, the only way I could manage to get them off was to weld a bolt to the center of the wheel nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evacelica Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I paid a garage £10 and got them taken off. They just broke them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
