Broken wheelnut

[Nottswoody]

Broken my front wheelnut what's the bast way to extract it?? Need it out for bluntys dyno day.. Cheers guys :cry:

[Daz5774]

Drill down the centre of it then use some extractors to unscrew it back out. I had to do it a few months back.

[Nottswoody]

Sorry I don't have an extractor. How can I get it out with basic tools like sticky back plastic and glue :p there must be a way? Cheers

[philg]

Can you get the wheel off? If so I would weld a nut to it and remove like that. if not the above is probably the best way, no chance of getting an old socket on it?

[Nottswoody]

I can get the wheel off but I don't have the tools really no welder no extractor.. Think I will have to take it to. A garage.. Cheers guys..

[philg]

Is there any part of the bolt left, maybe try some m-grips, or has it snapped right to the hub?

[youngscottie]

If its flush there shouldn't be any strain on the bolt as its not
Holding anything on( unless you cross threaded it)
So get a centre dab / small chisel and hammer the bolt remains
As if your removing it (anticlockwise )
If it ain't. Crossed it will come out no probs

Just reach behind the hub, and undo it from the back with your fingers :D

[youngscottie]

Another way is to drill down the centre as mentioned
And if you've no easy outs hammer in an allenkey or torque bit them
Screw it out using that
It's still light out go to it now and let us know how you get on

That worked for me in the past! All tension is usually released when they snap, if not a punch as scotty suggested or weld something to it

[Nottswoody]

Cheers guys I will have a go on Friday now as its the only time I have.

:agree:make sure thought that the hole that u drill is just slightly smaller than the torx bit but make sure its a pretty big thick one.hammer it in hard and make sure its deep enough.use WD 40also.that should do it.......go slow at it:agree:

Do yourself a favour and order 16 new ones. Cost you under £20 and will replace your old tired ones.

I remember the first time I snapped one, just before I was off to an event. I thought: "Oh bother, now I'm in a bit of a pickle!" About 5 seconds, and no tools later, it was all sorted. S0d all that drilling, welding, making work for yourself malarky :D
