I have a locking wheel nut remover mate. if ya need it doing asap then you could pop up to mine. if ya not in a rush then i could sort it probs at the next meet.

i could maybe weld it up for you? depends on how broken it is tho i spose. let me know, soonest i can do it is tuesday tho

yeah i think i might have ta take you up on that lee! i had just lowered the front to see how low i could get it.











does it matter that i have lowered 3 of the 4 coilovers but cant get to one of the rears cos i cant get the wheel off?

is there many bumps round your way lee?

i dont think it could be salvaged by welding! i have ruined it me thinks

You should be ok all the way til you turn off at chatteris mate. just go steady from there. can you tell me the width of the bolt head please mate.
will check to see if i have the correct socket.

wheels r looking nice, keep it low rider!

yeah i am gonna keep it low!

the centre bit that sticks out is 15mm, is that the bit you mean?

you have pm mate.

so long as my socket grips it, then it'll come off easy peasy

i know its a bit on the bodge side but ive just used an old socket before and a fuuking big hammer.

or you could drill it out!

those wheels are sick though mate, i think they look better than the old ones!

i got one of them locking nut remover kits, gonna give that a go

should do the trick mate, thats what i have.
if that fails, weld a big nut on the end

no luck so far, might just go to a local tyre place tomorow and see if they can sort it, cant drive it too much though as it really needs to be raised a little so i can go round corners!

have you got it sorted yet mate? if not post a p icture of the broken bit and i'll have a look to see if its fixable.

just sent the broken bit back to the shop and they are goin to send me a new one on thursday so it aint that bad, gonna try and raise the car a little on the coilovers without taking the wheels off

A mate had this problem a while back and I made a one use key from a bolt using an angle grinder.

i managed to raise the car a little without takin the wheels off so all is good, went to where i bought the kit from and they are ordering me a new key so that aint bad, should be here tomorow,

its a result really as i am plannin on puttin me camber shims on at the weekend

Glad you got sorted, must have been a nightmare - especially considering you live in speed bump and pot-hole hell (aka St Neots) lol

yeah t'was a bit of a pain, especially as i have 2 speed bumps to get from my house to get pretty much anywhere

lol, we have more craters in the roads than the moon's surface... don't even get me started on the speed bumps near Bushmead School

they are bad ones aint they,

i always think i am gonna get pulled over for swerving all over the road to avoid potholes

i did get pulled over for drink driving there! i was tryin not to ruin my car and they accused me of drink driving i lost it at them and they apoligized. Its anoying having all these bumps surely us swerving over the road is more likely to cause a crash than going in a straight line? ( i wasnt drunk btw)
