Taking the first two to work tonight with two CDX rims,to swap the tyres over.Will do the other next week when Im at work again.
Dont have room for eight wheels in the car.

Chiselled the other two collars off today.Hammered socket onto nut on front wheel,off it came.Hammered socket onto nut on rear wheel,socket slipped off - many times.Tried a 16mm socket instead, same result,it wont come off.
Any ideas how to get the remains off ? No point trying a locking key now as the nut isnt fit for purpose.Just need another brute force type idea of how to shift it.

Enough space around the nut to get an Irwin bolt remover on it? Like this:


They've saved my bacon plenty of times.

Failing that, tack a nut on the end of it?

Tried that.

Honestly, pick up an Irwin bolt remover in a suitable size and it'll be off in seconds

It will be a 25 mile round trip to get one though Aaron. Might have to if all else fails.
