Title: Rusty  Nuts.....
Post by: Debs. on 30 June 2008, 20:17:39
.....no, not the Country and Western singer. ;D

`Been trying to get the wheel nuts off the Landy today; years of rust, combined with (probably) having been put on with an air-impact wrench meant I broke (burst) two 27mm. 'quality' sockets and bent a 1/2" drive tommy-bar....and still those blinkin`nuts wouldn`t budge. :o

I called for the heavy-duty cavalry in the form of a neighbour with a 'monster' 1" drive socket set....that, combined with an 8ft. scaffolding pipe tommy-bar "helper"  ::) eventually 'ripped' all the nuts free with what can best be described as a mini-explosion ;)

I had no idea nuts could be THAT tight; and yet come undone (eventually) without damage! :o

Impact driver sorted it in the end would probably have done the trick.

I wasted god knows how many sockets and breaker bars on about three nuts that were on solid. Aforementioned tool did the trick.

I just hope your wheels weren't rusted to the rotors!!!

Had a Kawasaki 125 trail bike many moons ago. the previous owner had welded the back wheel nut on to the spindle because the thread was crossed. Such fun was had trying to remove it. :y

I find pouring some coke (the drink not powder) over rusty nuts and leaving for about 30 mins normally sorts them out and works more often than WD40.
