Someone To Remove Sheered Locknut

[Lyons]

Any recommendations for someone mobile to remove a sheered locknut? A colleague has a puncture but can’t get the locknut off. I’ve already suggested the DIY options but for convenience he needs someone to do it.

Car is currently in Dunmurry.

Thanks Darren. I meant to say that’s the 1 name he’s found, but there maybe aren’t too many more.

Cheers.

He spoke to them already there, £20 per lock nut. I think he going to pump it up then head round at lunch .

Do the AA do this if you've cover? I know my uncle is one of their staff and carries tools to do it

Glad I asked about this last week…

I put them straight in the bin any time I buy a car. If someone wants your wheels they’ll take them.

Smash a socket on it and it’ll be off in a jiffy.

100% straight in the bin when I buy a car also!

Hammer a socket on over it yourself Ian, you'll manage no bother. It'll save you arguing with anyone if they scratch a bit of that gloss black too!

 

[Lyons]

Aye, I’ve done that in the past. The probability of doing it successfully 4 times without damaging a wheel is low though!

I’ve heard loads of good reports with that Nut Cracker guy. My brother used him and said he was quick and not hard to pay.

What numbers on the back of it Iain? Might be able to get one of someone

 

[Lyons]

There’s no number on it from what I can see, first thing I checked. Would be great to borrow a key to remove the other 3!

Iv a few il send u pics when I’m at the unit

 

[swansty]

Banbridge if you want to check it fits

 

[Lyons]

Thanks Richard, not convinced it’s the same though sadly.

Just jinxed me now....sheared the locking wheel nut this morning trying to check why the tyre keeps going down now im snookered.

Can you buy a replacement atall on these? It has an F on the top of it
(F for F***ing idiot I take it?)

Likely not an option for you Ian but I would be welding a nut to it getting it out that way. Tape up the wheel to prevent any spatter. Much less likely to damage the wheel then.

I couldn't see myself hammering a socket on to that and not marking the wheel in some shape or form.

 

[Lyons]

My father in law could do it, but I actually thought there’d be more chance of not making a mess of it by hammering a socket on. Will take a better look at it over the next few days.

Taylor’s engineering on the Waterloo Road, Ravarnet, can remove locknuts.

A hammer and some brake pipe fittings and you're onto a winner
