Striped wheel nut.


Recommended Posts

Hello, yesterday I went for a ride and one of my wheel nuts came off so today i went to take off another and get it replaced but when i put the wrench to it it melted like butter and is now completely rounded off. I am limited on tools and have tried what i know and so far nothing works. Its driveing me crazy and i have no way to take my bike to the shop. What should I do? Do any of you guys know and tricks that i can try to get this last nut off?

Get a crappy socket this is just a lil smaller but you can make it fit with a hammer. Get it on there with the hammer then hold the ratchet and extension very firmly and bust it loose. You may have to use a couple smaller sized sockets if the first one goes on too easy.
