Hi I have a mashed rear wheel locking nut that I need to get off :evil: :roll: , It's my own fault I lost the key and between the garage that sprayed my car and me we'ev made a right mess of the bl00dy thing :oops: :cry: .

Tryed hammering a 12 point socket on as well (no joy) :cry:

I'v tryed locking wheel nut removers (no joy) and one of them sockets with the pins in(no joy), What can I do to get the f*cking thing off :?: :? .

How much room do you have?

You could try a pair of Stilsons on it (pipe wrench).

Have you tried heating it (the expansion should loosen it's grip) and make it easier to remove.

Also try hammering it in (towards the hub) as this can 'break the seal' and make it easier to remove.

Can't think of any more cheats for now :wink:

:D Hi mate,try tightening the other 3 nuts a bit tighter and then knock a smaller socket over the locker than the 1 you tried before i.e 1mm smaller.It will destroy the socket in the end but with the shock of it being hammered on it usually loosens it.What type of locker is it :?: Is it the pin type or the socket type :?:

No it can't be done :shock: :cry: :cry: , there's not enough left to get hold of :cry: .

I'v started stripping that whole corner of the car, I'll just take the strut/hub and wheel to a garage and get them to sort it out for me :cry: :( .

I thought with the size of your a_s_s, whenever you sat in the car the wheels would fall off by themselves, like a clown's car :D:D:D

What did the AA guy say ?

You wouldn't say that if some little fo.oker nicked your wheels :!:

Take one very large hammer and a large chisel and smack the sh!t out of the little beggar until it splits :twisted: :twisted: You need to break it's tensile strength then it will give :wink:
