That dog and monkey one. Any good Don?

Wonder how many trees i get wiped out by lol

 

[Don]

Done walk the dog once. Did like it, but went through a puddle that went thigh high in water. Thought I'd lost my phone and keys wouldn't work as they were soaking!

[MartinR]

Pmsl that would have been funny watching you slowly dissapear into a puddle.

Did it take you long to get round it Don?

 

[Ging2013]

This sounds fun, I will be up for a blast round Cannock. We used to do the dog & monkey in just under 3 hours.

 

[MartinR]

Cheers ging at least i now have a rough time it will take.

Cheers pal, cost me an arm and a leg at the time, £1300 could of got a car for the track with that now I think about it haha

 

[Loz H]

In abit of a pickle lads!

Managed to round off a locking wheel nut on my old car, and have no idea how to get it off!

Anyone free tomorrow who knows what they're doing to pop over and get it off for me? £20 for your troubles

 

[Mikeyjp]

Well you have a few options, weld something to it, get a hammer and hit a larger socket over it, don't use a decent one as it will be ruined, or you can buy proper tools for removing them

 

[Loz H]

I cant weld unfortunately, and would a larger socket work with it being the locking nut? it has a ring around the nut it that spins etc.

 

[Mr Burns]

If you've got any mates who work at a garage maybe they'll have the removal tools? When I worked at a car sales the service department regularly had to use them!

 

[Loz H]

I went to the garage near me and they let me borrow there removal tool, but it didnt work. it wouldnt bite onto the outer ring of the locking bolt.

Probably gonna have to drill it off!

 

[cs_dave]

You need to remove the outer spinning bit as it will prevent the bits working

 

[cs_dave]

Don't drill mate you will bugger the hub

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

smack a socket over the whole lot. if you cant do that, you'r not trying hard enough
