locking wheel nut fucked

[brown4454]

well. my key and my nut rounded off tonight.

worst bit is, its the spinny out edged nuts, so banging a socket on is proving to be a b**ch

any idea's?

not damaging wheel ideas to please

pos weld a extension bar onto it??

Drill it out

i thought about drilling then using them easy out drill bits, the reverse tread things.

only thing the drilling the full lot out. is id have to buy a tap set to clean the hole out properly

Weld a socket to it.

If its got that shitty loose collar on it, its a f**king pain in the ass to remove. Although if its a genuine Renault one, they only made about 8 different types, so if you have a few mates with Clio's, chances are one of them will fit it.

Our old mechaninc in work had a box of 8 or so and guaranteed one of them would fit it.

my mate works a reno, so could get me one, but the nuts to far gone, i manged to get the other 3 off luckly.

welding may be the only way....

Same here, took them about 5 mins

 

[Josh@Renparts]

you need a small chisel or similar and smack it between the spinny collar and the nut, the collar quickly breaks off and then you can knock a socket on, i do a few a week usually.

Great stuff mine has just done the same drilling out will be my final resort

Yea use a double hex socket, normally 19mm does it. Smash it on job done

 

[skatedemonuk]

so snap collar off then force a 19mm socket on and undo?

 

[Alastair.]

smash a 9mm socket over the centre bit the onces its gripped on just undo, ive done the last 5 locking nuts with the same socket.

 

[skatedemonuk]

do u have to remove collar to get 9mm socket over?
