^ type of lug I had

It got really dark out...

What a pleb!

I dont see why the Wheel had to be cut off...

Surley an 'Easy-out' would have taken it out with slight intervention with a drill & cobalt drill bit

Jesus some people shouldnt be allowed near cars

 

[Rossy197]

LOL !

"Can't get the locking nut off so i've cut the wheel off"

 

[guysy]

Lol, Getting stuck in.

 

[rory182]

lol ever heard of a stud extractor?

I had to use a blow torch a chisel and a BFH on my Pug.

I think I'll get some decent locking nuts for the 172 actually as the oem ones are s**t, 182 one was much more substantial.

I could have welded a bolt onto it and just took it off with a socket!

 

[Henry]

[jamesybear]

See above. Would have been a better idea.

Aye but the effort required to cut off is a fate worse than death regardless of wheel cost

 

[dajones]

can we all go around and show him how to do it without cutting the wheel. then we can all laught at him

 

[Damo_Sport]

when this happened to my saxo vts.. i took it to a garage and they welded a pole to the nut and easy it was out!!

 

[Bloooor]

if worst comes to worst, can you not weld another nut onto it?

Edit. Damo

Romania? somewhere with lots of gypsies, anyway

thing is, he's obviously put those photos together for use on a forum, where he could presumably just have asked for suggestions. live&learn, i guess

 

[Gary-Lew]

What a TURD

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Plenty of fail there right enough.

About a 9.5 of failure

 

[pritchard182]

[DannoTheGreat]

what a tool

 

[Christopher]

PMSL!!

 

[S23]

Oh my lord! What a complete idiot! Why in the hell would cutting up your alloy ever be a good idea? Jebend.

 

[Marky_]

That is impressively stupid!

 

[Ali]

HAHA! Fake wheels too!

 

[Jon.L]

WOW !

 

[Addz]

genious!

 

[Mike_182]

Peugeot dealers have to do this on a fairly regular basis as their keys are s**t and the locking nuts are 'snap-off' type, so you can't actually get an extractor on them...
