This video shows how I removed two stripped security wheel nuts from my car wheels. This method would also work for normal rounded wheel nuts or any other rounded nuts.

  • Yes ... Thanks worked for me

  • @clouxles Cool man, good to hear.

  • My security wheel nut was put on by Wal Mart without finger tightening 1st when they put new tires on a yr ago. When I went to take it offto change brake pads the actual nut (NOT lug stuf) broke into pieces and is now stuck in the wheel so I can't get the wheel off. What now?

  • @mykulc Sorry, didn't really get what has happened from your explanation, post a video showing the problem, maybe myself or another user can suggest a way to solve it. Cheers H

  • And me to

  • tryed this on my car, all the socket did was spin on the wheel lock. had to bring it to the dealer :(

  • @emutiny I don't know if you've seen my other comments... but I was just joking..

  • @DjFreshmatic if they want it bad enough they are going to get it no matter what kind of security it has. Any resourceful person with half a brain could figure this out on their own anyways.

  • What happens if the screw is completely broken off. How can I replace that part of the wheel?

  • You can wrap the socket in a thick rag, tie a knot and throw it at the ground, the shock should dislodge the nut, and it helps stop you ruining your socket.

  • @MrB3nyy

    Actually 'Pillock', he did explain in plain English what you have to do to remove the nut from the socket. And no, it's not rocket science.............. .it'scommon sense, skill and experience.

  • WOW thats rocket science mate....... now get the nut out of the socket ..pillock
