 |
|
i have lock nuts on my mags and i don't have the special tool to get them off. have tried making a tool ( the nut is sort of flower shaped) and i have thought of a way to do it. just need some recommendation.
i was going to spray my wheels with anti spatter and cover up the paint and weld another nut on top of the lock nuts. hopefully it should be enough to get the nuts off so i can put new ones on.
all agree this is the way to go or is there a better way? |
