  • So we got a call to remove a hoplessly seized wheel lock nut on a 2003 Land Rover Freelander. After a failed first attempt, we machined a special tool and then Vera drilled the wheel lock out successfully.

    Vera, the "perfect" woman, she can cook and wash, clean the house, operate a milling machine and a pistol drill, as well as swinging on the end of a "cheater bar", even has a sense of humour, what a woman!
    Christian is a lucky boy alright.

    I always say to people who worry about locking wheel nuts, that there’s a procedure to deal with them. It’s simple.
    Step1 Remove all 4. Step2 Walk towards the waste bin. Step3 Lift the lid of the bin & chuck the locking nuts inside.
    Your life is now easier 😉
    I hope your hand recovers soon Christian

    Hi Christian and Vera unless things are very bad in Germany nobody is going to steal those rims!

    Oh dear Christian what have you been doing, Vera is after your job now, well done Vera, I've had a problem with a locking wheel nut on a Fiesta I bought, someone overtightened it, I tried everything to undo it & ended up drilling down the side, the type that was fitted had a round rotating collar around the main nut which was hardened & I had to get a tungsten drill bit & drill that off, I got it off in the end without damage to the wheel or wheel stud

    Tip for Vera, if you ever encounter a very tight wheel nut, put the socket on the biggest breaker bar you have and use your foot on the bar and use your body weight to break the torque, although your a slim thing you will conquer it. Hope you injury heals quickly christian.

    • @Vera_and_Christian

  • @jules19671
    @jules19671 Месяц назад

    I whinced when I watched Vera pushing down on the breaker bar. I was taught to always pull up from the other side. That way you use the strength in your legs and more importantly, if it releases or slips, you don’t destroy your knuckles on the concrete.

    if you are not planning on reusing the wheel nut, i have found that MIG welding a large nut to the top of the stuck wheel nut is very quick and works well...making sure to attach the ground to the nut you are actually welding in order to avoid running current through a a wheel bearing or the cars electrical system.

  • @TUMBLINJEST
    @TUMBLINJEST 9 дней назад

    HI both, In the UK you can buy hardened sockets with a sort of reverse "teeth" a sharp type of spiral that's tapered to grip rounded bolts, nuts or busted wheel anti-theft t nuts. A great tool for undoing locking wheel nuts - that's why the wheel thieves use them sadly
