{} Hi all, Im having trouble Removing a tuner style lug nut that has decided to round itself, any suggestions to removing the stubborn nut without me damaging the alloy anymore?? cheers.
I faced this very problem removing some crappy nuts left on by a previous owner of one mine. Pop a couple of decent wheel nuts in to share the weight of the wheel onto other nuts, I heated the nut lightly to make it less brittle and then used a over side Allen key type fitting and smashed it in with a big hammer, then I gently turned it off. Insert a stupid amount of swearing between these steps. It worked, but I wouldn't want to do it again.
cheers for the info!! I fitted a 13mm Allen key and whacked it in, but it just rounded again.. I’ll try get a 14 and repeat with abit of heat.. I’m at the point where if the alloy gets damaged more I’ll just have to buy another one!!
