Hey folks,

I have a lock nut on each wheel which I need to get off but don’t have the key. If anyone has a welder and is willing to spend an hour or so to weld some bolts on so I can get the lock nuts off that would be great. I can make it worth your while and buy you a carton of beer or something.

Alternatively, if anyone has a set of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Easy-Off-Locking-Lug-Nut-Removal-Set-AETEO-Brand-New-/191619648896 (apologies about external link) they’re willing to lend me that would be great. I live in Kinross, Perth.

Thanks in advance

Amir

Take it to a tyre place and they will do it easily for you. I spent days trying to work out a solution and buying sockets to see if I could belt them on. In the end it was very easy to just take it to a tyre place and they will do the work.

Yeah tyre places have made short work of mine in the past (more than once ... :( )

I managed to get the rear lock nuts off. One by smashing a smaller size socket onto it. The other, by using some bolt extraction sockets I got from bunnings. They have a circular/wavy pattern on the inside similar to the ones I posted a photo of. The fronts are not playing ball. I will see how I go on the weekend.

Appreciate the help folks.

    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
    • Does this apply if you use an aftermarket ecu as it probably doesn't have that functionality built it? (Assuming it doesn't, in my case, apexi)
    • Given you already have the engine cross member to match and likely gearbox mount to. The SR20 has a head start on the RB in this case. They handle GREAT with an SR20, lots of fun.   One I did back in the day
    • have no doubt and wanted too trust me and may regret later not necessarily worried about weight (would be 8 kg ish total) it was more the $$ to do it properly is about $6 - $7K in hardwear need long 310mm stroke jacks etc - plus install and call me whatever im not doing it myself even if wanted too cant weld etc  - thats $10K installed vs fraction of that cost while Ive spent some money on this POS I actually really dont like doing so unless its got a large chance to make me go faster 😁 hey in still carting this things around on a 15 yr old rusted open trailer so I can spend on racing not buy a new trailer to look better the manual jacks Ive had done are heavy and take space but are transportable and usable anywhere - taking or organizing even compressed air let alone nitrogen which is more whats needed coming from Perth to Winton or Sydney or the like honestly just adds to my brain headaches/ hurts of organisation also ha 15 mins job will get down to 2 - 5 min job vs 1 min job for airjacks - all tradeoffs I spose
    • Purely out of curiosity, how do you know all this @dbm7? Do you work with automatic gearboxes professionally? This goes way way way beyond "I've had an automatic Skyline once and did some mucking around"
