Title: removing an 80mm wheel nut
Post by: jackaleks on June 19, 2009, 02:43:12 PM
my Gewalts have a dirty great 80mm nut on top of where the lug nuts should be. they\'re a bit corroded and it\'s on quite tight so the only pair of grips i\'ve got that are big enough won\'t budge it. any tips for getting these things off?
 
thanks,

what wheels are they? i had lenzos on mine with a big nut on. to remove the nut you removed two small allen head bolts from the nut which allow the nut to rotate

aahaa! i might have a quick look at that, although i haven\'t noticed any recessed bits where an allen bolt could be.

wheels are just jap-generic Gewalt jobs, no idea what they\'re called.
