Mag wheel nut cactus ! How to get off?
A mate who’s doing it a bit tough has bought a Toyota Lightace and possibly started down a rabbit hole.
Its a grey import, which he didn’t realise till he went to buy bits for it.
Anyhu latest drama some clown has used a cold chisel to try and remove a mag wheel nut.
They are normally undone with a 12mm Allen head adapter for a wheel brace.
Studs seam a bit long so 12mm Allen head doesn’t get much grip, probably the start of the problem.
I’ve suggested welding something onto the damaged area but that will only give a quarter turn at best. Or a Allen driver into the nut.
This plus the heat from the welding may enable the nut to be started.
Any thoughts?
He is talking about drilling the stud out in situ but this seems like hard work to me?
I’ve given it a swirt of reuducter bolt buster which I use for frozen stuff myself.
