Wheel nut irremovable even by Peugeot!!

Post by Lucylu010 »

Help please.
I have an 04 206 cc and recently changed the tyres however the last one to be
removed wouldn't come off. It's been to 3 garages the last being Peugeot who came back
with 'sorry we can't fix it'
Now I have one illegal tyre which due to the damaged locking wheel nut can't be replaced.

Can anyone offer any advise please?

If you can't get them off by hammering on an undersize heavy duty socket then the only solution is probably going to be to drill them out.

Good luck.

I have got a special set of sockets. They are like an inside out thread extractor. They are a better option as the more you turn, the tighter they grip.

Not sure of make as no label. They are a tapered l/h thread that bites deeper the tighter you go. Had them years so can't remember where I got them
