Going over to WIM this afternoon for a geo check-up/tweak (after lowering), so I'm hoping Tony and the boys might be able to help get the broken wheel nut off - e.g. with one of those tools for removing locking wheel nuts where the "key" has been lost - that's as long as there's enough clearance though, the nut is recessed inside the wheel. Fingers crossed !

14-03-2017, 11:39 PM #992The other day I went to check the torque on my wheel nuts, to check they were tight enough. Unfortunately, I found that one of the wheel nuts is broken. It's an aluminium "tuner" nut, the type you need an allen key-type of adapter to use. So the problem is that it is split and trynig the adapter just makes it open up more.

Kinda required when you import a car with locking nuts and no key!Mind you if that's the only thing that's gone wrong after the amount of work you've had done it's pretty good! I have a broken wheel nut at the moment as well, been driving around with 4 on one wheel for a few months... nice shiny new Rays ones on order come payday.

14-03-2017, 11:56 PM #995Luckily I do have a few spare wheel nuts, because I got a set of 20 (5 for each wheel), and I've got locking wheel nuts too, i.e. I've got 5 spare.

An unexpected bonus was being able to see the underside of my car up on the ramp. I noticed one piece of work that Charlesworth had done that I wasn't even aware of, and another piece that I had known about but had forgotten lol. So I took lots of pics. Will post those extra bits up soon. Here are some of the general geo pics :

15-03-2017, 10:18 AM #999It went well. As suspected, my geo needed tweaking due to the car being further lowered. Only a slight adjustment was needed at the front, but more at the rear since the rear had been lowered more than the front. The rear camber has now pretty much ran out of adjustment - it will hopefully be fine how it's been set though, even though it's slightly outside of the normal range.

One of the Black Boots guys (WIM's sister company, who deal with tyres/wheels) had a look at this. There were two main options, the first to try hammering on an over-sized socket (one of the usual ways of trying to remove a locking wheel nut that you've lost the key for) - that one might work, but there was risk of damaging the wheel, and also risk of the nut breaking up and leaving part behind. It might have been straightforward, or it also could have turned into a nightmare.
The method I'm going to try is to find someone to weld something onto the broken nut, and then remove it that way. Trouble is the nuts are aluminium, so I need to find someone who does the more specialised aluminium welding. I will have to make some phone calls.
