Bloody Wheel Nuts!!

<< < (2/2)

hobbit:
While you lean on the bar and socket on the nut, as said give it a reasonably firm knock with a heavy hammer, time the bounce of the foot on the brace with the tap for max shock and torque

Good luck :wink:

muddyjames:
those wheel nuts are a right faf and I hate them. I have steel wheels on my road tyres and rangie rims on my mut tyres so need alloy nuts and I think they look nice on the steel rims just a shame I cant find some with the caps off though.

I have rounded and miss shaped many a cap and have to whack a 27mm impact socket on with a hammer to get the socket on. Argh!!!!

Good luck.

Well if mine had been so difficult to remove I might not have found 2 off them missing completely and 2 others nearly off as well, all on one wheel, last night whilst out laning.

Someone has tried to nick one of my wheels, I've a rough idea when it happend too but as one nuts was still tight I didn't notice for a while that anything was wrong.

Fitted a set of locking nuts now.
