Im having problems removing the locking wheel nuts from my beloved willy.
I think they are the original nuts still that have been on there from new. They are the Three pronged ones....
Basically the two of the pins have snapped on the adapter which rendered it useless... so i drilled the pins out and replaced with something simallar, but vto no avail as the pins bent again....
I am reluctant to take it to a tyre garage and let them unleash their tool on them as i hear that they tend to make a right mess of the wheels... I have thought about the old "bang a socket onto them" trick but they have a spinning collar that prevents this.
Im stuck guys as the brakes need doing.., any help or advise would be great. :?
