Wanted to fit new brakes and pads today but got stopped by my locking wheel nut! It broke off on the side.
How do I now get the f&*%er off??

Mate i would love a set of white wheels for the Rallye! Like ive desperatly decided that i want white wheels and more specifically OZ super turismos.. but anyway. As people are saying, large impact socket! Surely thought with 3/4 of the nut left the locking nut still grips slightly? Breaker bar + tube to give massive leverage/torque and it should crack it off enough to move it.________________________________________ owain wrote: A GTI-6 with a good dashboard and the seats down can outsprint an E46 M3 in July. |

What he said, I'd give the locking wheelnut tool one more go on an impact gun while pushing it in as hard as possible to stop the tool climbing out of the bolt before I started smashing sockets onto things. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

TBF the daddy that you need are Snap On's easy outs. I'd have that off as quick as using a normal socket.

Bunch of girls lol.Simple, get a socket that slightly smaller than the lock and use the above wood hammer which is more than enough and whack it on. Dont try the key again else it might remove too much that the socket wont grip properly. Iv managed to use a small hammer and socket in one go. ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug. Black 306 GTI 6 Standard, was 60k mileage, bargain!!
