Ducky1 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Can any mechanic on here advise whether you can get locking wheel nuts off a car and put back on again without the correct tool and without any damage being done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telman Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 You can get them off one way or another but there's no point in trying to put them back on because you could be stuck at the side of the road with a flat tyre and unable to remove said nuts.

Smack Jack Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 You either need a key or to drill them out, its that simple mate I'm afraid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny11 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 depending on what type, you can hammer a old scoket over it and it will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natlouanne Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 when ypu take them off its not really advisable to put them back on, but i had this problem and went to hawleys on sharrowvale road and they used a special tool to get them off, took about 5mins and it was done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they use something a little more robust than one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
