Title: stuck wheel nut
Post by: neilhull on May 09, 2009, 03:34:02 PM

Hi the security wheel nut is stuck on the front wheel of my cherry :-(   .  . Any one know how to remove this. If i try with the remover nut it just slips out of the security nut.
      cheers NEIL

good quality 19mm socket and a good smack with the hammer should do it. or the removel sockets that halfruds sell as was said above.

Hi The security nut is round. The remover fits inside the nut so a socket is a no no . Will the removers from halfords remove this

the socket goes over the top of the nut mate and then you hammer it on with the hammer. sounds a bit brutal but it should work. the halfrauds things fit over the top also but you do need an impact wrench to get em to work. it might be worth a pop into your local tyre fitter and ask em if they can do it for ya mate.

had a similar problem on mine when i got the muds fitted, turns out we the car didnt have the male for the locking wheel nuts so the tyre garage used the method mentioned above and got them all off after a faishon, bizarley, the two front ones spun of with my fingers!

by the way what is the bracket for on the drivers side rear wing, is it a cb ariel ?
