Gorilla locking wheel nuts
« on: May 05, 2010, 09:53:03 PM »

A very long shot seein as they dont sell them over here but dont suppose anyone has the unlock lug for these, seems the CJ one has disappeared from the centre console over the winter  :banghead:

joke is because of the 1 1/2" spacers im puttin on i need to change the stud to a zook thread so dont even need the fuckers anymore  :banghead:

But the unlock lug is supposedly unique. It came with a card when it was bought so you can
order a lug. Better get hammering an old socket over it.

Heavy duty box spanners are the best...... so long as you have not over torqued the wheelnuts that is.....

I've taken a gorilla locking nut off by getting a flat blade screwdriver (big one) behind the serrations and tapping it round to undo - think impact gun tapping approach and not about one big whack.
