CJ Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Following on from this thread here and this other thread here I am led to believe that what I need to help Jez out is a 17mm socket that has been ground down to make it thin enough to go into the holes. As I do not have this facility, can someone do this for me (paid of course) and send the socket to Jeremy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 they look very similar to the nuts I have on my Volk Se37a wheels. I use a spider spanner from Halfords, its got 4 arms with a different size on each end and the one for my Voks slips in to the quite small holes perfectly. May be worth checking, its only £5 or something. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 CJ, I have a spare set of multi-locking thread nut removers available if needed? I could post them to you? I had the same problem in getting my locking wheel nuts off when I lost the adaptor! It had actually rolled under the drivers side carpet! Tried all the main garages, Quik-Fit, Halfords, Greswolde, Plume and none of them could do it. In the end I went to the wheel refurb guy and he banged a 'pin-headed' socket on it, quicked welded it and prixed them off. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
