Locknut socket missing

Postby Makaveli » Sun Nov 09, 2008 2:40 pm

Buying a car from a dealer, but they lost the lock nut socket to remove the lock nuts. Is there any away of taking them off? without doing any cutting as such etc. I dont know which brand they are, so dont know if its possible to order replacements?

Thanks

Go to Mag and Turbo and see if they have one that fits. Either that or hammer a socket over it
