Removing Wheels

[simon]

Are they not for stereo removal then?

That's exactly what they're for, you won't get far trying to take the wheels off with them

Well an update, went out this morning to take the old wheel nuts off with the 17mm socket and the damn things are not that size!
I reckon they are about 15mm?

So I need one size of socket for the old ones to come off and another size for the new ones from Elise parts, so bloody annoying.....

I thought they where 19mm or 3/4"*



*for the old yin's

No its defo smaller nut, it just spins in the socket........

Just too late Alan, went to Halfords this morning for a 17mm deep socket, finally got the old ones off and the new ones on, such a simple little mod but makes the wheels look so much better..

I bought two when they were on special offer at £1.99.

I actually felt guilty because how the hell can something like that be sold at that price, when at least three intermedaries have to make a profit from it?

The World has gone mad..............

China, sweatshop, low wages, mass production, cheap materials
you get what you pay for, but at £1.99 if it breaks you don't care
