Scarface GTti Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Did you not get my PM or do you have different wheel nuts to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 lol i didnt understand ur PM, my wheel nuts look like you need a large allen key socket to get them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarface GTti Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Yes, that was what i was trying to explain. The easiest solution is to use a knuckle bar (breaker bar) that is half inch drive and to buy an allen key socket to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 what size is the allen key socket though? 11mm or 12mm?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarface GTti Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I think its 12mm but i`d have to double check that for you in the morning. I also have this proper tool but its crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I don't think you should really use a regular allen-fitting. The supplied tool is tapered - looks like it's wearing out but it's not, it's tapered so it gets a reight-tight fit BTW, they're shit. Get rid of them ASAP. I went for some nuts which come with a socket-type fitting. £40 set from Dave Sheldon Tyres in Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absz Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 the size of the allen key is 12mm, you can buy a long socket type key. from a motor factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
