    Splitting the ring works every time,never failed,just use a bolt remover threat grips as you undo the bolt

    Many thanks for the impact socket idea. Got 3 off my Citroen C4GP but forth was being a sod and must have tapped it back rendering it useless. Had me completely baffled until I saw your video. Regards John.

    I have several sets of reverse thread removers..they are all thin walled. The prob with halfords type is that they only fit car wheels that have lots of room where the bolt / nut sits because the walls are so thick. Plus its a two socket pack..so only two sizes! But its a real go to if you have lots if room in your rim and its the correct diameter for your locking wheel nut.Positive point with these halfords is that they will not crack! Bad news is the halfords reverse thread will not fit these type of locking wheel nuts at all. You have to physically remove the spinning collar to fit a very small reverse thread. Halfords are way to big for these.

    The method you mentioned around 4 minutes, I have tried this and the centre twisted off, leaving just the bottom of the nut, and impossible to then get off

      I never had that happen tbh, but i can imagine that coukd happen if it was totally over torqued. If that happened it would be pretty easy to get off if you have a small welder. In fact i will grind one down flat and show a video of how to weld one

    Is a reverse locking nut remover useless for this job ?

    • @wheelrepairs
      @wheelrepairs  Год назад

      The reverse thread socket will not work with these type of locking wheel nuts as the spinning collar makes the threaded socket useless. You would have to remove the collar first and then purchase a very small diameter reverse thread to fit over the center stud, or fit a standard 6 sided small socket.

      If it has a spinning collar, this reverse thread socket will not work.

    I drilled out the centre and used a screw remover to undo the bolt. Hard work but worked fine. Stupid design.

    • @wheelrepairs

      Yes.. ive seen a couple of people do that.. the center stub is not very wide so you have to be careful. Yes daft design, i had to weld one out today after AA had recessed it!
