Blue Spot Troublesome Bolt Removal Kit 1539 - And The Wheel Nut Saga 

I struggled with a round bolt for a day, then discovered this tool. I bought a kit and I was finally able to to remove the bolt... It's an amazing tool!

It's really great that your company lets you use stuff after work. The only thing I would be worried about is some minor job going horribly wrong and then you are stuck for transport to get home and the additional hassle of fixing on the premises. Like I said, a good outfit that goes a long way to promote some sort of harmony with the staff. I think a car mechanic from a main dealer would be surprised at the amount of heavy work and pressure involved in truck maintenance. I hope your pay packet reflects this. As usual great video, and respect the time it must take to put together.

I fought off and on for a few days with a defender alloy locking wheel nut, eventually drilled a small hole down side of nut and used chisel to hammer the nut off, was a fight from start to finish, tried all sorts including welding,. Have put normal nuts all round round now, hoping people take defenders not just the wheels lol 👍🏻👍🏻

I have a set of these type of sockets by Laser. I haven't had a great deal of success with them myself tbh - in fact in my own situation of desperation I managed to strip the teeth of one on the ball joint bracket to axle bolts on my LR. Though I think it may be my particular set, as they have a completely different tooth design to the ones you show here that I'm not very convinced by. I shall have to give this Blue Spot set a go, they look like their design will do a much better job than mine!

Well done Cobby hammer and punch / chisel back to basics old knowledge Think I will invest in a set of Irwin's for a few quid more

Thanks! Didn't know these existed.

Bought the Irwin set for my boy's Corsa which had the same issue as yours. I can normally wring something off, but they didn't need much effort. The rust had placed the nuts into no mans land for sizing purposes. Would also recommend them :)

New to welding, only stuck a couple of bits of scrap together so far. Pleased I watched this, I would have disconnected the battery but wouldn't have known to disconnect the alternator. Cheers

I have the Irwin set and had a similar experience with a Peugeot 307 set of locking wheel buts belongs to a mates wife a few years ago. Was a right pain in the backside. After that experience I bought myself a master set of sockets for the locking wheel nuts. Was about £80 have used it a few times since and it’s paid for itself!

Wheel bolts can be a bastard at the best of times always get over tighten double whammy when they are security time👍🇬🇧

Probably know but smear copper grease around the alloy wheel, saves lacquer and paint from the welding sparks, wash and brake clean of after you've shown everyone the sorry looking lock stud 😄

Heat from the welder probably helped things along

Heating the bolts works for me

Work in a workshop we used the dynomec wheel nut removal tool used by aa and rac I don’t think we had one we could not remove only down side it’s Quite expensive to buy

i have a similar set in snap on ,they are great

I bought an Irwin set about ten years ago and they have been abused but still have not broken one.

Here is a question. I have always taken the locking nuts off. What would my insurance say if car was damaged when someone was stealing the wheels .

I deal with a lot rusty bolts .Always hammered these extractors never broke one.. Beta brand

how exactly did that bloke get it out in the end?,

F&S KL 😃

Are u workin in man now or still daf
