Nuts
Anyone know where I can get a tool to remove hub nuts, the big fuckers in the centre of the wheel hubs? I don't really wanna pay a fortune for
something thats only likely to be used a total of 8 times (twice on each wheel)
Who the f**K tightened this up!

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Best bet would be a 3/4 breaker bar and the correct socket for the job .Have a look around the locall second hand shops I picked up a full
metric/imperial combo set for £20. Would give you hand but you 300 miles away
The hub nuts even make my good quality 24" 1/2 breaker bar flex to much.And have sheared a cheaper one.......

I did it this way.. Dead Easy..
Tight Nut Problem Solver.
Remember One is Left Hand Thread. Other is RHT. Look carefully at the bit of thead protruding.. And get them back on the right sides as well.

Three cuts with an angle grinder and then smack it with cold chisel - I did a previous post in this section about this - 5 minutes for both sides.
