r88sch Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 wondering if anyone here can help me, my supra never came with a locking wheel nut, ad am struggling to find a key that will fit. I have just bought new wheels and cant get the rears off, the nut itself looks fairly rusted and has no thread left on it for a key to grip to. Anyone else had this problem and howd you sort it cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red One Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 you can buy a special tool to remove locking wheel nuts or you can get an old socket that is abit smaller than the locking wheel nut whack it on with a hammer so its stuck on then just use your muscles to undo it, it helps and makes it easier if you use a longer bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r88sch Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 iv got a 3ft bar, and tried the hammering a nut over the top but no luck just keeps slipping off tried 17mm 18mm and 19mm any ideas on where to buy this special tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 When I got my locking wheel nuts - it said if they got stuck to tighten the nuts either side and loosen the 2 nuts opposite - presumably takes some of the pressure off them. Also - have you tried an impact driver on the socket - can work when all else fails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r88sch Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 yeah i bought a reverse threaded impact socket and tried that but its too thick to get in the actualy hole on the wheel not having much luck witth this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
