.......of the locking variety.

Was out cleaning my alloys when one of my locking nuts spun around in my hand.

Just needs tightening i thought, however when i did, it just kept turning. :evil:

So i thought ill just put another normal bolt on for the time being, and twisted it the other way, and it wouldnt come out!

so if i get a puncture, im fooked!

Now, i'm not one to shift the blame on anyone, but Arnold Clark were the last ones to have the wheels off at the service.................................................................................

i blame them then o btw hi everyone just new to this got myself a fiat punto mrk 2 i think for my first car

thats not good, ive got a few screw extractor if u need them or kwick-fit/ national will be able to get the bolt out for u.

funnily enuf, ive found that arnold clark are a bunch of bodgers too and funily enuf denied all knowledge of touching anythin in my car i.e kurbing 2 alloys on an MOT :evil:

had this problem, i took it to a few tyre fitters they cudnt get the bolt off, they recommended that i lookfor a code on thje back of the lovking nut packet and get a replacent key. Tried it, didnt work had to go a local garage and get the nuts blo torched off, 15 quid it cost didnt leave any damage at all.

Lynseys dad came up with the idea that if i jack the car up, take the other 3 bolts out, pull on the wheel whilst trying to undo the locking nut, that would get it out
