Its not a locking wheel nut though does that matter ?

 

[JonRGV250]

No, they’re not great for removing lock nuts.

 

[jeffspuds]

how do garages remove them ?

 

[JonRGV250]

We use similar to what I linked above, or another tool to remove lock nuts.

Do you know someone with welding gear? Got any pics of the situation? Have you tried hammering on a sacrificial socket?

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

how do garages remove them ?

Drill it out, weld a sacrificial socket to it, or hammer a smaller socket on it.

Great minds @jaybee

Why would you drill out a wheel bolt or weld a socket onto it when there’s a tool that’ll remove it in seconds?

A sacrificial socket wanged on is a lot cheaper than £38 for one

I would imagine most garages would only charge a few £’s to remove it as it takes 30 seconds to do.

Last time I had to do this, I walloped a deep 12 sided imperial socket over it with a lump hammer and removed the nut using that.

I've used something similar to bail me out in a few occasions. We'll worth the money as it makes the job much easier.

Most will still charge for the hour

Gone for the drill bit extractor set will give that a whirl.

Depends on the way the alloys are. I had to drill out a stud once because there wasn't anyway to get anything on it to get it out.

In that situation I can recommend dormer drill bits. They are the dogs danglies.

Wimp. Just needed a cheap smaller socket and a lump hammer
