The Bounty Bar Kid Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Just done this whilst trying to remove my spacer so I can change the rear discs and ads... Help please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) get a small flat file in there and re-square off the nut and then get a bit of heat on it before you try undoing with a decent fitting socket Edited July 10, 2014 by SteveM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm using a 19mm socket. Am I using the right size? The others don't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Hammer an 18mm socket onto it Edt: I'm guessing 19mm is the right size, you might end up with a nut stuck in the socket but it worked for me.

Ekona Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Always use a six sided socket, nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I just seem to say all the wrong things! BBK was single and lonely, got a Z and then found the girl of his dreams, hopefully Grundy will too! Maybe it's the mis-matching wheels, they think if he can't even match those, he won't match socks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 HOW HAVE I BEEN DRAGGED INTO THIS THREAD?!?!?!?! Funny thread, I'm guessing when BBK comes back, his wheel will be sorted and he will be happy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Nice choice Edinburgh, was there for a good few years, liked it a lot. Lots of decent pubs and plenty of culture to drink in too. Good luck with it BBK and the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Did the same to one of mine. Garage got it off using an impact socket which they hammer on. Completely destroys the low profile nut so you'll have to get a new one, about a fiver each from Alex. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
