Locking Wheel Nuts

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know how to remove these, the type I have are the ones with 4 slots (slightly eccentric) that the wheel nut fits into, female on the nut and male on the hexagon, I have to get the rear wheels off and some numpty at the tyre place has put them on with a windy gun the nut had afracture and has now broke one lug off and threatening to break another

cheers

getting the nuts of is one problem.

Replacing any broken lugs is another.....

Take it back to the place that put them on with an air gun and ask them to sort it out. If they can't or won't you can sue the f*ckers. But you have a much better chance of success in the legal department if you have given them the chance to sort it out.

You'll probably find a no win no fee lawyer eager to take it on.

Why do tyre monkeys insist on using air guns to do the job - wheel nuts aren't that tight - unless some other lobotomised ape has done the same before. :evil:

W*nkers.

Rant over :lol:
