RDCULS New Member 16 Member For: 17y 4m 21d Posted 23/07/08 03:52 PM Share Posted 23/07/08 03:52 PM Hi there,One of my front wheel studs is stripped (wheel nut just rotates but doesn't undo) "cuntox".Has anyone sucessfully tackled removal of something simmilar & how OR have any bright ideas on how to remove (that doesn't necessarily involve a 100mm grinder & new rim)???cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably caused by a rattlegun at the tyre shop.You could try hammer 7 chiesel, but it wont be easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDCULS New Member 16 Member For: 17y 4m 21d Posted 27/07/08 03:11 PM Author Share Posted 27/07/08 03:11 PM Pretty sure it was due to rattle gun. Got wheels put on one day, returned a week later to remove dust covers & what-do-you-know, stripped nut.Will try undoing other nuts & pulling wheel off (good idea!).... If no joy, might try to drill it..Thanking you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called RAC lol he just kept yanking the wheel and finally it just smashed the nut off, rim is still in one piece thank god, and yes once again a fuking rattle gun, those things will do up anything Edited 29/07/08 09:40 AM by chikt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
