I have a small pea size stone, stuck between the tread of my rear tyre (drivers side) its starting to really annoy me now though, when I drive down the road, I can hear it clicking, and it just won't go away, to make matters worse, when I park the car, the stone always seems to be at the bottom, making extraction nigh on impossible, its obviously a piece of granite, as its yet to wear away, and its been there for over 6 month now, (I know this for a fact, because it got stuck on the same day uncle John got 6 months for curb crawling, and he's out now) any thoughts on extracting this little devil would be much appreciated....

Pliers?

Convert your car to RWD and do some donuts. That'll wear the little blighter down.

With a bit of lube (wd40 or similar) lubricate the sensitive area
taking care softly rub and caress in the lubricant to the desired area until you feel ready to commence
Pull out your large flat headed tool (A screwdriver) and slowly slip underneath or inbetween the problem and hopefully shell cum out lol#
I couldnt have wronged that more.
Personally Id use the screwdriver - For removing the stone

I think the only guaranteed solution would be to scrap the car.

Yup, that should do it! :afro:

Aye, get it scrapped, I'll have three of the wheels, I don't want the clicking one. How is your uncle john btw?
-
but surely if you relapace the tyres this would fix the problem
UNLESS you have a gravel drive :huh: :huh: :huh:
-
How difficult is it to get a stone out of a tyre? Am I missing something? :huh:
-
Lol :laugh:
You obviously don't need to go to the stupid lengths of scrapping the car (idiots), just remove the affected wheel, and the wheel on the opposite side, then fit tank tracks.

For f**ks sake does anyone have anything sensible to say?
A £1000 set of BBS Splits and new tyres is the only way forward for the man.
-
OMG :grin: :grin: seriously after 6 months of annoyance you haven't rolled the car forward (while it was on the bottom) and stuck your key or something under it and levered it out??
