What wheel nut brand is this?

[PaRaDoX]

sooo i got my car yesterday!

checked the brakes, yep they're stuffed (no biggie, on goes the vn's v8 brakes i had)

buuuut it has lock nuts, now i got the tool with it BUT 2 prongs were snapped off, i was attempting to undo it and i snapped a 3rd off, leaving 1! cant get it undone now...

i need to find a replacement lock nut tool, where should i go ? can anyone tell me what brand this is?

Looks like the ones holden sell, nothing a just small enough socket wont bang onto and release it. If that doesnt work, chisel and hammer

[PaRaDoX]

its not the socket end thats broken, its the prongs are snapped off that connect to the wheel nut


hrm, could be a holden one because everything else on this cars genuine,

ill pay a trip to them tommorrow and see what they say, gotta get the bastard off before i can even hope to get a rwc

[VKStevo]

any tyre place should be able to get them off for ya if holden wont

[Dayvo]

What about drilling through the adaptor where the prongs have broken off and hammer in some round stock the same diameter to get you out of trouble

weld another wheel nut onto the lock nut, then simply use the wheel brace. worked on an ex's car when the stupid bitch jumped a gutter doin 60 and popped two tyres and had no idea where the tool was lol

Cant help you with the lock nut but i dont think you can uses your old brakes on the ss as it has ABS doesnt it?Dont think they are the same.The discs i mean.

[pr0n]

they just put a nut against it and weld it on, then pull it off

nooooooo no no abs on my ss, and my vn had 290mm rotors on the front, v8 calipers and a 1" master for turboness, either way,im trying epoxy weld on one of the nuts now, if that dosnt work ill take it down to the local engineering joint and get them to weld some nuts onto it

heh, just picked the car up, the mechanic tried welding to it, no luck so ended up cold chizeling them off, off now soo :P
