[Chris.S]

Cant get my wheels off, I'm stuck can anyone help

[aido]

What's the exact problem Chris?

Are you using one of those breaker bars to give you more leverage?

Think there are a few people on here who had probs when the car didn't have copper grease or something applied to the nuts before fitting, or the nuts were just done up to tightly by one of those airgun things...

[Chris.S]

The lockin nuts are seized, broke two sockets so far, havent got any bars and I cant drive the car

[Scorpion]

Pays to use grease when refitting,sounds like someone overtightened them.

You need to use an air gun on them

[Chris.S]

Only place that has an air gun is work but I cant get the car there

I had the same problem last week with apuncture, called the AA and avery nice man fixed it for me, took him 2 mins to get wheel off and spare on :D

[Dave-Ellen]

Chris, if in fixing the problem the locking nuts are damaged you can have my old set.

[Chris.S]

Done it with a brute force and ignorance :D

Lexus itself has a hard job from TV presenters, such as the ones on top gear.

Actually when someone last mentioned Lexus, the hamster's sentiment showed it was all resentment. He said they never break down and then added "I wish they would".

BMW's are great cars but the 750i for example loses a lot on resale. I think it's the sort of people that are attracted to BMWs because their handling is good; "the ultimate driver's car". So all the boy-racers buy them and thrash them to bits as well as driving like gits.

Are you using Lexus wheel nuts Chris? I had same problem with mine, ended up have to hammer one of them a little to get it to shift.. then brute force with a pair of mole grips:) The holes of the Lexus ones were all deformed, presumably by poor care taken by previous owner.

I opted for a set of McGaurds instead of LExus.. much stronger & Thatcham approved

you appear to be quoting me from a completely different thread?

[necromax]

Its not just me that thought that then... :D Thought I was just over tired
