Damm LOCKING WHEEL NUTS
« on: 08 January 2005, 19:17 »
Please help me someone.? I have lost the locking wheel nut tool for my borbet alloys and desparately need to get them off.? I have tried hammering a smaller socket over the locking wheel nut to no avail.? Have also bought a reverse thread socket tool, have taken it to my local tyre shop they havent been able to get it off using that either, as the thread just aint gripping the nut.? Here is the pic of my nut, any suggestions are appreciated.

big drill may be that answer, or find someone with an air tool and get them to hammer on a socket and get it off with the air gun, or take it to a tyre place andthey should be able to sort it out. aint gonna be much fun either way!

hammer and a good pain punch. thats how i got mine off.

I would try the socket trick first.

You might damage something with a drill.
