help with wheel nut lock undoing atttachment!

[rockit]

hey guys, i'm urgently (hence why i put this in the SA thread rather than the classifieds) looking for a wheel nut lock undoing attachment as i need to do some work on my car but lost my attachment and i don't know where the wheel nuts came from originally I already checked supercheap/repco/sprint but they only have ones with splines irregularly spaced, the ones i need are regularly spaced.

I found a similar one on ebay, basically just regularly spaced splines, and a narrow tube (wheel nut holes are fairly narrow!)

does anyone have anything that looks like this that they could lend me for an afternoon? happy to pay something to borrowing one! i have ordered a replacement one off ebay but really need one faster than it will arrive!

I would head down to Wheelworx in Richmond. Their wheel nuts looks very similar. They'll at least be able to help you get them off the car.

Hey, those look just like mine. But I'm in Melbourne sorry.

This might help?

interesting solution, probably works ok if you only need 1 removed, but all 20 of the wheel nuts are the same and i don't want to have to buy a new set of wheel nuts as well as heaps of sockets..

Hmmm, I wouldn't risk it with that youtube video, cause if something go's wrong it will make it much worse.

Steve with the black Galant with red plate number GTTVR4 has a set of sinilar nuts that I sold to him. Maybe he can help you?

Looks like ones we well at work...Autobarn Mile End. But if you have tried others competitors that may not help.

I would check when i there next, but unsure when that is atm.

 

[it's.simon]

Hey Bugz so are you the guy with the silver galant there? If so, we have exchanged a few words before. Sorry OT

Na Buddy thats not me, thats Chris the installer. I work inside and own Legume- Triggin FL Leggy.

About 2 months ago I ordered a set of wheel nuts for my new wheels but I ordered the wrong thread size. They came with a splined socket and Ive sent this to Rockit in todays mail. His nuts look identical to mine so it should fit. LOL

Another option...

yep, thanks again for helping me out! fingers crossed that it works, although I cant see any reason why it shouldn't

That's how I change my wheels every time, I just find it easier than working out what the right size socket is - and I only have one size blade for my reciprocating saw

 

[Rabit]

I ordered the correct size wheel nuts last night and this morning they have been dispatched already and come with another tool. Anyone with a late model Falcon need some brand new wheel nuts but no tool.

Roberts adapter fitted, so got them off. Thanks heaps for sending it over!

a mod can close this thread if desired.

That is the first time I've ever sent anything via Aust post, next day delivery and its arrived next day. Amazing.
