D1RTY6 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Unfortunately all the wheel nuts are these so could be a very long tedious process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Borrow/buy one from a tyre shop. I misplaced mine once and the local shop loaned me theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Check your centre console and your glove-box. That's where I keep mine (you probably have looked there but, I'm just trying to help.) Alternatively check the side of the driveway where you last changed your wheels or the piece of 4x2 of the garage wall that you sat it on when you last changed them. OR! You've run over it with the lawnmower so check your shin bones or your neighbours houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers will give this a go if no one on here has one. Check your centre console and your glove-box. That's where I keep mine (you probably have looked there but, I'm just trying to help.)

You've run over it with the lawnmower so check your shin bones or your neighbours houses. Yea have checked all those places, havent used it in so long hard to remember what i did with it! I think I have one the same. Mag and turbo sold mine. Go see Chris wildey Choice you think you could have a look tonight Bart and let me know? If not can you PM me Chris number?

KKtrips Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hammer on a socket that only juuuust doesn't fit. Undo nut and then smack the nut out of the socket in the vice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 When you do that, don't do it near the car. I smashed the bolt out, hit it on an angle and the socket flew across the driveway through an open drivers window and a closed rear passenger window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it's just a standard nut. I got my wheels from Elite back in the day, so they may sell the socket too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I had a locknut on my falcon without the docket. It was SUPER hard material and was fuckin tight with fuck all knobs for a socket to grab onto so nothing would work. Got a socket that fit very tight and filled it with bog. Smashed it on. Bog set and filled all voids. Boom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I cut a 1/2" socket extension in half and welded it to the locknut, then easy to get off with powerbar/rattle gun etc. then cut cut it off the locknut and welded it to the next one etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 17mm single hex socket usually works on those if they are not too tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
