Question

The security nut on all my wheels seem to have locked solid!

How can i get them off or should i go to someone!

thanks

Answer 1

Go to a good local independent tyre fitter: They'll have the tools to get it off & will be able to sort things if they have to resort to brute force!

Try it at home & knacker it, you'll need to pay to get it recovered to a garage.

Answer 2

the nut have prob stuck because the nuts are made of a diff alloy than the hub they are screwed into. when this happen a chenical reaction happen when they get wet.

this reaction is as tight as weld!!!!

you will have to drill out the old nut and have the hub rethreaded.

not really a diy job. need the proper tools

Answer 3

Try warming them with a blowtorch first, if that dont work weld a thick washer to the nut,  being careful not to weld to the stud, then weld a large nut to the washer. A decent socket on the nut should undo it especially as the heat from welding should help free it.

Answer 4

Tap end of nut with a 2lb hammer a few times.Not too hard.Fit correct

size socket over nut with extension bar then get a piece of cast iron pipe

that will fit over the extension bar, 3ft should be enough.Then carefully

tighten the nut just a little then try to undo it.This should be enough to break it`s grip.Once you have all four loose you should remove them

and put a tiny smear of molybdenum disulphide grease on the threads

and run the nuts up and down the threads by hand a few times to work

the grease into the threads of the nut and stud then re fit them.

Job done : ).

Answer 6

Pour a kettle of boiling water over the nut. Spray with WD40. Use an extendable wheel nut wrench to give you good leverage and they should come off. Use Coppaslip gease when refitting.

Answer 7

You really need the proper tools. You won't be able to blag it

Go to someone or call the AA or similar

Answer 8

If you have alloy wheels its probably best to take the car into a tire centre and have them removed professionally. They have the correct equipment to remove them with out damaging the alloys.

Ja.
