wheel bolts
Toledodude1973:
Help needed please, tried to remove wheels on my omega today and was unable to remove locking bolt. I have the correct adapter but it just rolls off when given any purchase. I suspect the bolt has seized on and the adapter is a little worn. How am i going to get these off ,obviously if sucessful i will disguard them and replace with ordinary non locking bolts. thanks for any help Paul
tunnie:
I junked my locking nuts years ago, horrible things.
Could try good soaking in plusgas, plus an impact with hammer or something to shock it.
Migv6 le Frog Fan:
I had the same problem with one of mine and spent hours with a small chisel before I got it off.
Take it to a tyre depot and pay them to get them off. Then chuck them in the nearest bin. :y
Toledodude1973:
Will they be able to do them at a car tyre place,like national tyres? I will try the impact driver method before hand thanks
Nick W:
Some will, others won't touch them. Best to ring them, or your usual garage first. Anyone who works on cars professionally will have their own techniques for removing the damn things. Get all of them removed.
