If its stuck then use a small chisel and hammer to chisel it round and off.

This morning I tried mylocal Kwik-fit, Gordons tyres and uncle tom cobley and all...Almost every one of them pointed me in the direction of Vx(as if)
I was passing a little garage in Barnsley and saw a young lad outside having his bacon buttie. I went in and laid it on a bit thick(hols coming up..could be in deep s**t etc etc) He couldn't wait to help me and a few knocks, bangs and farts later it was off.  A tenner made him well happy. MORAL: you still cant beat a friendly local independent garage.

Good effort  

Saved you getting your hands dirty

[STMO123]

Cheers, Roy. I dont mind getting my hands dirty, you understand. Its just that I'm old and decrepit now and its so much nicer to watch someone doing the job.....

If the locking nuts jam, hammer a good quality socket over it....

Tried that. The socket was just spinnig arond on the nut. It really is on tight. Thanks anyway m8

If your locking wheelnuts are like the ones on my facelift Elite they have a spinning outer coller to prevent people hammering a socket on them to remove them.

well I haven't been able to take a pic of my bolts yet, but they look identical to these:



- they may well have the spinning collar mentioned by Tony H too by the looks of it ...

They look like the ones I took off the MV6, due to fact they were a bastard to undo if they had seized slightly...
