Lost wheel lock nut defender Brisbane.

[Meherio]

I lost my lock wheel nut tool. Last night when i drove off with the lock nut tool on. I was keen to test my new shocks.
I thought ok, i can get the wheel nut off with a set of stilsons, but no luck. If any one has got a lock nut tool in Brisbane or Sunshine Coast i'll drive around and try it

If any one is up around Caboolture area that would be great.

You'll need the correct tool for your lock nuts - there's a letter stamped on the nuts which must be matched with the tool.

losing a lock nut is not a serious break down away from home or an emergency.

This is a lesson to get rid of them all together. The tool will fail. Not good if it happens in remote locations.

To remove hit a 24MM or 1" socket over the nut and remove with extension bar. Use a cheap socket if you have one as it can sometime be hard to tape the nut out after removal.

Those locking nut kits came with two matching sockets I thought.

There are differant ones but have a letter on so you can order a new one

Off the top of my head I think there is 6 different types of locking nut

I have two for this very reason.

One I use and the other is in the bottom of the cubby box.


Let me know what letter you need and I will see if it the same as mine and if it is you can borrow it until you get a new one

I have a full set of sockets that size.

Can come over to Cleveland and we can hammer one on and undo it

Mine is a G so no help there

The lock nuts are off!! Bit of good old bush genius and they are off. 1"1/8 socket and two bits of 6mm rod located in groves hammed socket over the rods and they twisted loose.
Four wheel nuts on In place of lock nuts, so I'm off with no fear of a flat tyre.
