Dnk Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 A good pic close up in the wheel will really help. Is it a steel nut or aluminium alloy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a mild steel one, there the crappy ones you get free when you buy alloys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Your gonna have to weld onto that bad boy I reckon. I wouldn't of thought it was steel looking at its colour. Looks like it's been anadised. Edited February 25, 2013 by Noz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 one of these should do it if you dont have a welder.... http://imgc.classistatic.com/cps/blnc/130202/622r1/07258j4_20.jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprageek Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 no welder unfortunatly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 If you try to weld to it get a magnet first to see if its steel or aluminium. I'd try something like the sockets above first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 get a small socket that you dont need (a cheap one) make sure its smaler than the nut, then wack it on the a mallet. worked for me when a lock nut was rounded of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 It's pretty damaged though dave. If he ruins it much more, he will be in seriously problem-street. You definitely need to check the material first. I would try and use removal tools before welding, that's a last attempt really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
