Guest kornstar Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 how do get locknuts off to get your wheel off if you dont have the key thing? Quote
Guest FUKD50 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Depends what kind of locknut. Are they the one with the keybit that goes inside them and are round on the outside, or the one that the key fits over?? Quote
trunk-rattlin Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Just take the car to a mag/tire place. Quote
Mr.Mk1 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Vicegrips, but you never heard it from me... Quote
zep Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 ...or you can get a socket which 'should' just fit and hit it on with a hammer. But you didn't hear that from me either. Quote
Toucan Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 ...or you could use dynamite but you didnt hear that from me Quote
Guest WESTCORT Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 simple, steal mags without locknuts Quote
Guest escort_boy Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 hahaha i dont htink he is implying that escort_power Quote
Jerm Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 bets to take it somewhere... i have heard of a mechanics tool called a stilsons wrench or some shit that can grip round things... they use it to remove bolts that are rounded and munted Quote
GNR Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 try useing a screw driver and a hammer, i tried to take some mags of the 626 paddock racer, got them all of excetp one, dam it, broke a few screwdivers trying as well, lol Quote
Guest FUKD50 Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 LOL. dont steal mags with locknuts. LOL thats a good one. hahaha ummm, I you want to keep the nut dont do this obviously but umm, you could get a nut weld it on to the top off the locknut and then youve got yourself a wheel nut. and umm yeah. you didnt hear that from me.

Guest LukeNukem Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 hit it with a block of concrete... Or if you don't want to wakeup the neighbourhood, vice-grips work wonders. Or a plumbers wrench, monkey wrench or whatever its called. Quote
Guest FUKD50 Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 if you think its gona wakeup the neighboor hood why dont you just 'transport' the car to a safe haven and work on it there??haha We are talking about youre own personal locknuts. The easist way to get them off is not loose your locknut keys in the first place. Quote
Mr.Mk1 Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 You could take the diff and axle out, attach a lead and sell it to a small child and tell them that its their pet dog that went to 'the farm' for the summer, learnt a trade and became an all conquering steel dog, who needs neutered with a grinder Quote
Guest kornstar Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 im not stealing anything, just wondered what to do if i got a flat tyre and needed to swap them... Quote
Jerm Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 locknuts are not all unique, there are only a certain number of key shapes... so take it to a tyre place and see if they can match it..? Quote
mutiny Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 but yeah jerms right, go to a tyre palce, theres actually fuck all lock nuts out there that actualyl get brought Quote
si Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 just dont be a mofo and buy a set of 4 lock nuts, and put them all on one wheel, leaving the other 3 with normal nuts Quote
