gunmetalzgt Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 the story so far.............. first i had a nut round off on my spacers because some idiot at kwick fit over tightened them. (i needed to change the front wheel hub because the bearing was gone) then after 3 hours of trying my mechanic cut it out but wrecked the spacer. i then bought another pair of spacers and because they were 25mm instead of 20 i had them put on the back. i also had the rear wheel bearing changed. yesterday i was happy as larry driving my car and then i realised that when the steering is at 11o'clock im going straight, so i realised that i need to spend another load of money to get the laser alignment done again. so a trip on monday to CS. this morning i found a funny looking thing next to the rear wheel of my car.(on my driveway) picked it up, looked like a locking wheel nut but without the thread. looked at the wheel and basically the locking nut was broken. so now i have another problem with removing that from the stud! WTF is going on? if i get the alignment done and then theres a load of banging going on afterwards to remove the remains of the lock nut then it might be knocked off again! this is all made worse because i work away from home all week so im only here on weekends and monday mornings!! sorry about the rant guys How do i remove the remains of the nut? its basically just a ring now. i feel its going to be almost impossible to get something to grip it tight enough to remove it?

jacr87 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Guys, Was up in Thurso this week and had a slow puncture driver side front wheel. Went to the garrage and lone behold I could not find the locking key for the wheel studs Does anyone have a spare rather than using a unlocking bolt socket which will ruin the locking key studs?

You best bet is to purchase a new one from a NIsaan Dealership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
