Locking wheel nut removal for dummies.
« on: 30 January 2014, 00:13 »
This takes approx 30 seconds and you can do the but back up as per normal.

Just need an M16 spline tool, hammer and a breaker bar.



Line it up and tap it in. Needs next to no force! Could probably do it with a rubber mallet it's that easy!




In perfect condition!


Most probably wouldn't even need the idea but I'm sure someone will ask one day. :whistle:

the solid ones are even easier. just get a socket that is a bit smaller and beat it on and TADA it will come off :smiley:

It slides in and out so easy after you've tapped it in once that I just bought a spare and chucked it in the glovebox.
