Snapped wheel nut removal

[mac mac]

keith , what brand of nut/locknut is richie supplying . jus so lads can get an idea of what theyre gettin before commiting .
my preference would be internal drive and in blue

 

[JJEJ20]

If you got a hole saw bit just a tad bigger than the stud,would it be any easier?at least you could use the stud for guidance instead of trying to keep the drill straight going through the centre..

These here are the wheel nuts lads, come in red blue and black with lock nuts also.

Stick me down for a blue set.

 

[KENC]

They are priced at 20gbp on that link Keith???

 

[blacktar]

think if including the locking nuts the are 20 pound aswell, that would be 40 pound, for 20 wheels nuts and set of locking nuts

 

[KENC]

I thought the sets came with 16 nuts and 4 lock nuts

 

[blacktar]

say's 20 in the link, few spares no harm

 

[keith555]

Mine came with 20 nuts and locking nuts also.

 

[Ciaran WRX]

I was thinking that as well but local hardware store didn't have one long enough in the right diameter.

Stubborn ba*tard of a yoke anyway. Left the studs hand tight and went for a spin. Checked them when I came back home and they needed tightening but the broken nut still hadn't snapped. There's fook all left and it's still not budging. Bought a couple Bosch and draper bits and I've only one left.

A hole saw wouldnt even mark the nut id imagine. There is no easy way

Bought a nice Draper punch set today and another Bosch bit. Should have it out tomorrow with a bit of patience.

I think this is our best option lads! What do we need to do to get the ball rolling on this?? start fresh topic for a list of names? Delegate a member to organise this?

internal drive , for wheels with tighter gaps , plus kind of work as an locknut . these would be my preference .

 

[keith dublin]

Nice
Inner drive looks better and saves the rim.

 

[Aaron]

how easy would it be to wreck the removal key?

 

[JAMIE-TYPERV6]

Bloody difficult. I have a set of those internal drive ones from Rarerims... great quality and removal key is seriously strong.

 

[Aaron]

I'd be up for the internal ones so, guess i will get blue to match colour of the car... red could be nice too... will have to think about it.
