What size nuts are they as the wrench that comes with the car won't budge them and I need one with a bit of leverage?
P.S. I can't be arsed to go outside with a torch to find out  |

if they got locking nuts on, and you dont have the key for them
be prepared for a pain in the arse. |

most standard is 19mm, on my 19 they are, my clio, they are, so i'd expect it to be 19mm, but be prepared for one or two to sheer, they seem to like doing that  |

take a trip to Halfords (or a similar automotive-goods outlet) and get yourself a wheel brace. has 4 different/most common sizes on it with a decent bit of leverage too

Well, I got a 17/19mm extendable wrench and I got the R19 alloys off Reno1916V/Adrian down in Hemel Hempstead today (thanks again buddy!!) Managed to sheer just one bolt  So will try and drill that out over the weekend. The old thing's really starting to look the part. Can't think of much else I need now.
Leather
Alloys
Kick ass stereo & amp!!
Hmm what next??? |
