becuase there's only about 6-7 different locknut keys for each design, they probably just have on of each.
I remember trying my locknut key on a few mates cars, fitted 2 of the 3 cars I tried it on, I just got rid of my locknuts after that, they're more of an annoyance when changing tyres than anything actually usefull Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "mark krawczuk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 12:58 PM Subject: Re: TRX rims hi, also if you get a socket that will just sorta nearly go over the middle bit, then bash it on with a hammer then use a rachet to take the nut of, my friend done this a couple of times.. btw, how come i have bought a few cars in to get tyres fitted and then realized when i go to pick it up that i forgot to give them the lock nut thingy , and the tyres are already on? how did they get them off? mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Costello" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 12:43 PM Subject: Re: TRX rims 2 or 3 swift hits of the chisel puts enough of a groove in the nut for you to just undo it like a flathead screwdriver Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 11:12 AM Subject: Re: TRX rims what exactly do u do with it?? -----Original Message----- From: "David Costello" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2002 19:52:23 +1000 Subject: Re: TRX rims 15 seconds with a wood chisel Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 6:57 PM Subject: Re: TRX rims depends what type....mine have a round head...with a clover type shape cut into the face of it -----Original Message----- From: "David Costello" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2002 17:27:19 +1000 Subject: Re: TRX rims they take no longer to get off than a normal nut unfortunately with very little know how and very crude tools Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 4:17 PM Subject: Re: TRX rims i have locking nuts on my wheels (i also used them on my old TRX rims)....there is no easy way of getting them off without the key...bout the only thing you could do, is bring a welder along and weld something to the nut so you could turn it i think mine cost $25 from my local rare spares -----Original Message----- From: "james wade" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2002 16:33:47 +1030 Subject: RE: TRX rims Thats the darned thing. And what do you guys know about locking nuts. I just remembered that the guy said he didnt give me the locking nuts because he had to use them on his 1200 (ute, very nice looking car btw). Are these actually secure or just a gimmick? The bloke at the tyre shop said they were about 25 bucks And I take it there will be nuts to suit or will I have a hard time finding some? -James -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:membersozdat_owner@;datascribe.com.au] On Behalf Of mark krawczuk Sent: Monday, 28 October 2002 9:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TRX rims the nut on the stub axle that holds the flange for the wheel nuts? mark k -----Original Message----- From: james wade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, October 27, 2002 9:25 PM Subject: RE: TRX rims Oh and does anyone have an idea for a suitable cap to cover that bolt that covers the wheel bearings?
