rounded lug nut, and engine noise.

[Ade_Mc]

ok so i has to questions that need to be answered.
i own an ADM AE86 with 4AC boat anchor.


1.swap rims over, my mate at campsie tyre place put on temp lug nuts.
i got the proper ones, but he rounded 2 nuts! the problem is that they are almost completely recessed in the rim.

i'm sure people have had rounded nuts before, so what methods have people used to remove rounded nuts.

2. My motor has started making a high pitched whistle, after it has been warmed up and driven for a couple minutes. this went for a week,
so i check me oil and it was below empty.
have topped up oil, but it still makes the same noise, just a little quieter.
is it possible i has done some damage to the motor?

if u have a welder handy weld some bits of rod on the nuts and bang em off. Ive split mine with a chisel before aswell

[Richard]

see if u can hammer an under sized old socket onto it

[Sam-Q]

even better go back to the guy who rounded it and demand he fix it

[Cerby86]

how the fuck do you round off two wheel nuts?? this guy obviously shouldn't be allowed to use more than a wheel brace!!

[-elliot-]

alot of tyre shops have a tool to get them off
its like a socket with tiny little splines that move and grip onto the nut
so give your local tyre place and call and see if the have one and if they can take it off

[Ade_Mc]

he works at a tyre place...actually he just got made redundent

[Rice86]

smart move by his boss, i wouldnt hire someone if they stuffed up there own friends car lol

[Sam-Q]

it's irrelevant though it's the responsability of the tyre place then.

Either that or just get a socket and hit it on like mentioned above

[lolwat]

take it back and let them deal with getting it off

or

smash a socket over it

or

get a chisel and bash it into the pattern then turn the chisel with a shifter
