locking wheel nuts ?
« on: 27 November 2003, 22:05 »
Wasn't sure where to post this, but here we go anyway...
after a month or so of owning the car picked up my first nail in the tyre and my first reason to get a wheel off, the locking nut wouldn't budge! Eventually all the teeth just shredded off, so a pneumatic chisel and some oxi-acetylene later the wheel was off (looked like the prats had put lock-nut on the thread) so can anyone recommend some decent replacement ones ?

i had the same problem when i got my first tyres counldn't get the buggers off AND the passengers front wheel only had 3 yes 3 nuts instead of five, the bloke that owed it b4 me was just a rich git, that really didn't giv a sh1t!!!
