Was it 12point? I always find them better.

Perhaps it has an outer sleeve?

Got an air gun?

Fear not - halfords have a tool for this very thing. Reverse threaded nut/bolt remover. It's a one use socket with a reverse thread in it. It cuts into the bolt then gives you enough purchase to undo it  :cool:

Never had much luck with the reverse thread ones. Worked on two lockers and that was it. :undecided:

Also need an airgun with it.

the reason your socket is just spinning is because there is an outer sleeve on the bolt. Remove your socket and get a small chisel or screwdriver and start tapping away at it. you will be able to prise it away from the bolt and then destroy it. Then wack a 6 point deep 17 mm impact socket over it and go for it you bellend.

Post by: wrobstar21 on 23 September 2010, 10:36

oooo, sorry chaps, only meant it as a light hearted comment!

i dont really think your bell-ends at all, as many have pointed out, i did it!!!

Its not too bad anyway cos i managed to change 3 wheels so i have 3 vr6 wheels and one std gti one, its a good look, try it!!  :smiley:

Your right it is the ones which spin and have an outer sleeve thing! they are sunken though so i cant really see how i could chisel it off or something!

Apologies again if anyone thought i was serious!!

mango chutney?

Title: Re: which bell-end told me to whack a socket over it???

NOOOOO dont use mango chutney - be better using a small amout of chicken paste!!!

Post by: Bellend on 23 September 2010, 14:43

Was it me?  :grin:

I've got a set of Snap-On removers, works everytime. Although you get the shiney silver (I assume they are steel/stainless steel?) and they are extremely tough metal, I always place an old extension backwards on the nut and hammer it hard to sqaush it a little bit.


My locker went AWOL (they came with the car) and I simply hammered the extension, got a punch and turned it with a hammer. No damage to the alloy either.  :cool:

chicken paste works at a push but has been known to cause severe rodent problems later down the line
