17mm 6 point socket slipping on wheel nuts
Hey all was taking off wheel nuts on the drivers side to do plug wires , my 17mm impact socket is just slipping around them it feels like it is grabbing the slips and jams on the nut , any ideas to help here .... maybe a 12 point socket or heat on the nuts to expand?
thanks |
What nut are you talking about?
|
The lug nuts for the tires

There are a few different LUG NUT type that may have been used depending on the wheel package. Knowing which type may help to get an answer to your first question? |
The nuts i am talking about are the ones that hold your wheel on. I have since discovered they area spline nut and takes a special key which was not with the car went i bought it.
