dutchboy 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I've finally got round to fitting my nice shiny new suspension but have hit a big problem. I've lost my friccin locking wheelnut tool!!!! Can't find it anywhere. It's one of those tri-lock style jobbies. Whats the best way to go about getting them off?Cheers guys.

jims13 6 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 bolster and hammer, or if your lucky, pair of long nosed pliers and some brute force. Link to post Share on other sites
dutchboy 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 a bolster like a brick bolster you mean? I've tried whacking a 19mm socket over the thing but I just can't get it to grip properly. Really stuck!! Link to post Share on other sites
crish72 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Two or three 6mm(ish) bolts welded onto a socket or similar, hammer and mole grips and some brute force combined with good luck.Thats how i did it years ago..Chris Link to post Share on other sites
Bigjobbo 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 i'd definately smack an old multi point socket on. Done it loads of times, eventually got round to getting some proper removers off snap on.good luck Link to post Share on other sites
dutchboy 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hey! Finally got the nuts off and put all my suspension on today!! Hooray!! One slight problem though, the nearside front is knocking. Is this something which just ain't tight? Does anyone have the torque settings for the suspension?Many Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Bigjobbo 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 If the knock is loud, you may have left summit loose, if its a wee bit quiet, you may have disturbed a dodgy bush.just have another look. Did you tighten the top of the strut? Link to post Share on other sites
dutchboy 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I went round and tightened everything up as tight as it would go and there doesn't seem to be any knocking at all now. Handles great!!!!! I'd well recommend the FK Highsports. Just right in my opinion. I just need to set the ride heights properly now and get it aligned somewhere. Cheers for the advice Link to post Share on other sites
