sheared wheel nut :-(

[4WayDiablo]

This this is what's left. I've tried putting heat into it and putting a notch into it with no luck

Anyone got ideas?

[Matt]

Drill it out. Or what I did was remove the carrier and got a pair of grips on the back and unscrewed it

[ginge191]

have you got a stud extractor?

I've got one, ask if you can borrow it...

[4WayDiablo]

Never drilled anything out
Wouldnt I have to re tap it?

Thanks for the offer ginge how do they work. The bit that pokes out is only about 2mm
Would it be able to get it out?

-drill a hole into the stud
-screw the extractor in
-MTFU and screw it out..

Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke

Grind a slot into it and use a flat head on it. Before though, heat it and give it a few twats with the hammer

For the record this is smanfas dads sigma ph1
And the previous owner used a bit of metal sticky stuff to stick the top of it to the wheel and leave the sheard stud in on... what a lady garden

Stud extractor is really the only easy way from there..

Drill as big a hole as you can in the stud for suitable stud extractor, and whiz her out...

LOL @ bodging a wheel nut on!

As above really, i dare say its fairly seized in there.

If its corrosion, ATF mixed 50/50 with Acetone (Nail varnish remover) and sprayed on is possibly the best penetrating fluid ever!

Cool thanks for the help. Gunna get an extractor kit tomorrow

Thanks :-)

[ginge191]

Oh, also, be aware that the extractor kit usually ONLY includes 4/5 extractor sizes - you will some kind of "handle" to turn the extractor, either look what it includes when you buy it OR make sure you have something to use.

As said on phone, id suggest chucking the other 3 wheel bolts in for now, DONT drive it and extract it and drop a new one in asap.

[darrenjlobb]

Most extractors have sqaue end so adjustable spanner works fine to turn it, just make sure you make the hole as big as you can, so that you can get the most extractor in as possible to prevent snapping it off..

If you snap it, tbh id probs just swap out the hub, easier than fookin about....but should come fairly easily with extractor provided its not crossed in or anything stupid...

[ginge191]

^^^^^^


THAT or if you have a re-threading tool - the hand piece for that fits snug, also gives you a nice grip and a straight turn. rather than a ratchet, which could pull on one side, heightening the chance of a snap - i guess?

[KrisB]

Personally I'd just drill a hole in it and then hammer in a torx bit. If that fails, use the next size up...

I seem to remember a certain someone sticking one of the top suspension strut bolt heads back on so it didn't look suspicious?
