guys, i have been changing my standard susp to Tein coil overs. Got the front two changed then snapped a rear locking wheel nut while removing the wheel!! What the hell am i going to do??
Does anyone know how to remove a snapped wheel nut??
To make things worse i snapped the socket while attempting to remove the snapped nut so now i cant remove any of the other wheels...

 

what lock is it, a 21 or 22mm socket goes over certain types

 

the locking nut is completly round, well it was, a socket wont do a thing. AAAAGGGHH

 

couldnt get something to grip it and turn it by hand like pliers or something??

 

can u post a pic of the nut

 

I will try to get a pic today

 

I had this problem with my old Jeep.

The wheels had a lock nut and the socket was broken. It was one of those round ones so no way of gripping it.

I only use a small tyre place for my cars rather than the large spanner monkey firms. They advised me to go to a local garage/engineering workshop and they popped them all off in a few minutes with some special tool.

Ask around the local garages - the ones that look like they'll turn their hand at anything and you'll find one old boy who can get them off.

 

Did you get this nut off in the end and how?

 

Ask AA or RAC, They store a special tool's to remove locking nut.

Or buy this kit ?
