todays mod, was not without a problem
I managed to shear the inside of my locking wheel nut off inside the nut, now does anyone have a solution to this, if i could be bothered or if it was worth it i could pick the pieces out of the nut.
Will Subaru have a nut to get me out of trouble, obviously will be getting a new set of lockers so it does not matter if they are unusable after removal.
Any other sudgestions

It may have damaged the thread on the hub stud....
there only about £3.50 from a subaru dealer, but you have to take the brake system off to get to the HUB, then a heavy hammer to push the old stud out. then use some copper ease to pull the new one back through, using a wheel nut to pull it through, real tight fit...
Had to replace a couple of mine as I have a habbit of over tightening wheel nuts...
Now use a torque wrench every time, keep it in the boot incase I get a punchure...
Give me a shout if you need a hand to do it.

Will do mate, i was going to change all the studs anyway, i have a new set to go on al ready, its just getting the actual nut off without the key thats the prob.
Was thinking about investing in a torque wrench to to be honest.

when I broke mine it just broke the outer edge on one side, and I still managed to get it undone... I'll be off work tomorrow if you need a hand mate.

Cookstar, Sorry to hear about your lockers mate, I am also in Basildon and as a last resort get yourself an extension bar and I will weld it to each nut so you can undo with a ratchet.
PM me if you need help
