hey i have the same problem on my 93 toyota pickup and im doing the same
putting mud tires but thing is i striped my key and i did what u tryed and
i still cant get the lug off all it does the socket just spins when i try
to turn it and i even have the lug nut where i have to hammer it in the
grip and it doesnt grip so please help :(
I would have put the socket rim just over the open jaws of the vice so the
nut passes through the gap rather than clamp the whole socket, that
prevents damaging the socket. You'll probably need to tape the socket in
position while you whack it but its a whole lot easier as all the force
goes onto the stuck nut not the socket.
so i watched this and in 20 minutes i had all 4 locking lug nuts off. i
didn't have a vice so i got a bigger socket and set the one with the jammed
nut in it and beat it out with a punch. it sure beats the alternative i was
going to grind a flat spot on two sides of each lug nut and use a wrench to
get them off.
Thanks man, my friend just happens to have a 4 runner too. He just blew a
tire but he couldnt find the lock so we had it towed to my house. I go give
it a shot, and update you.
This is dumb. It will depend on what kind of ock nut you have. But the idea
behind it is almost bulletproof. You need to take a socket that is just
slightly smaller then the outer edge of the lock nut and just HAMMER IT on
it tight, then get it out as usual. Problem is, you damage it and letting
everyone else to know how to get it out.
i bet u that there is not lock nut on that car cose u hammering it so smoth
i m a profesional car repairer and have donne it myself over and over again
Pure shite, is this the 150th or the 250th idiot looking for his 2 minutes
of fame with the same old crap? IT DOES NOT WORK ON LOCKING WHEEL NUTS, if
it did they would not be locking wheel nuts would they? These are an old
cheap version, the modern ones have a spinning ring on them to stop this
happening, well not actually that modern, the last 10 years or so.
